Image data output apparatus, and image data output program storage medium
View Patent ↗Prior to outputting a sheet, the number of divisions, wherein a sheet of paper is subjected to an area division, is designated in accordance with an operation, and images of which number is the same as that of the divisions are disposed on the associated areas, respectively. In the editing, even if there is an image having a size extending over one area of the divisional areas, image data is edited in such a manner that the projected portion of the image is removed and the remaining portion is recorded.
1. An image data output apparatus for outputting a plurality of pieces of image data representative of a plurality of images of which a number is identical to a divisional number obtained when a sheet of paper is divided into a plurality of areas, through editing into image data in which the plurality of images are recorded on the plurality of areas respectively, said image data output apparatus comprises:
a division number designating section for designating number of divisions in accordance with an operation, wherein a sheet of paper is subjected to an area division;
a data editing section for editing image data of which number is same as the number of divisions designated by said division number designating section, said image data being representative of same number of images as the number of divisions designated by said division number designating section, to image data in which said same number of images is recorded on the same number of areas obtained when a sheet of paper is divided into the same number of areas; and
a data output section for outputting image data after edited by said data editing section,
wherein said data editing section edits the same number of image data, in the event that there is an image of which size extends over a one area when a sheet of paper is divided into said same number of areas in said same number of images represented by said same number of image data, in such a manner that a portion of image data projected from said one area of the image of which size extends over said one area is removed and a remaining portion of the image data is recorded on said one area of the image.
2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the data editing section maintains a size of a subject of the image on the one area after the portion projected is removed.
3. The apparatus of claim 2 wherein the data editing section removes the projected portion automatically.
4. An image data output program storage medium storing an image data output program which causes a computer to operate as an image data output apparatus, when the image data output program is executed in the computer, wherein said image data output program storage medium comprising:
a division number designating section in which an image data output program stored in the image data output program storage medium designates number of divisions in accordance with an operation, wherein a sheet of paper is subjected to an area division;
a data editing section for editing image data of which number is same as the number of divisions designated by said division number designating section, said image data being representative of same number of images as the number of divisions designated by said division number designating section, to image data in which said same number of images is recorded on the same number of areas obtained when a sheet of paper is divided into the same number of areas; and
a data output section for outputting image data after edited by said data editing section,
wherein said data editing section edits the same number of image data, in the event that there is an image of which size extends over a one area when a sheet of paper is divided into said same number of areas in said same number of images represented by said same number of image data, in such a manner that a portion of said image data projected from said one area of the image of which size extends over said one area is removed and a remaining portion of the image data is recorded on said one area of the image.
