Abstract

A document edit device includes: object obtaining unit configured to obtain an object; a calculating unit configured to calculate a golden division line, the golden division line being a line that divides at the golden ratio a distance between two reference lines, each reference line being determined on the basis of a target area in which the object is displayed; and an editing unit configured to edit a size of the object so that the object contacts two lines, the two lines being selected from among the calculated golden division line and the boundary of the target area.

Claims (46)

1. A document edit device, comprising:

an object obtaining unit configured to obtain an object;

a calculating unit configured to calculate a golden division line, the golden division line being a line that divides at the golden ratio a distance between two reference lines, each reference line being determined on the basis of a target area in which the object is displayed;

an editing unit configured to edit a size of the object so that the object contacts two lines, the two lines being selected from among the calculated golden division line and the boundary of the target area; and

a storing unit configured to store a category of the object,

wherein the editing unit is configured to edit the size of the object so that the object contacts two lines, the two lines being selected on the basis of the category stored in the storing unit.

2. The document edit device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the two reference lines are two parallel lines of the boundary of the target area.

3. The document edit device according to claim 1 , wherein

the calculating unit is configured to calculate at least two golden division lines, and

the directions of the at least two golden division lines are different from each other.

4. The document edit device according to claim 1 , wherein

the at least one of the two reference lines is a line that divides at a predetermined ratio, two lines of the boundary of the target area.

5. The document edit device according to claim 4 , wherein

the predetermined ratio is 1:1.

6. The document edit device according to claim 4 , wherein

the predetermined ratio is the golden ratio.

7. The document edit device according to claim 1 , wherein

the editing unit is configured to edit the size of the object so that the difference of the size before and after editing is minimized.

8. A document edit device, comprising:

an object obtaining unit configured to obtain an object;

a calculating unit configured to calculate a golden division line, the golden division line being a line that divides at the golden ratio a distance between two reference lines, each reference line being determined on the basis of a target area in which the object is displayed; and

an editing unit configured to edit a size of the object so that the object contacts two lines, the two lines being selected from among the calculated golden division line and the boundary of the target area; and

an identifying unit configured to identify a category of the object,

wherein the editing unit is configured to edit the size of the object so that the object contacts two lines, the two lines being selected on the basis of the category identified by the identifying unit.

9. The document edit device according to claim 8 ,

wherein the two reference lines are two parallel lines of the boundary of the target area.

10. The document edit device according to claim 8 , wherein

the calculating unit is configured to calculate at least two golden division lines, and

the directions of the at least two golden division lines are different from each other.

11. The document edit device according to claim 8 , wherein

the at least one of the two reference lines is a line that divides at a predetermined ratio, two lines of the boundary of the target area.

12. The document edit device according to claim 11 , wherein the predetermined ratio is 1:1.

13. The document edit device according to claim 11 , wherein the predetermined ratio is the golden ratio.

14. The document edit device according to claim 8 , wherein

the editing unit is configured to edit the size of the object so that the difference of the size before and after editing is minimized.

15. A computer-readable storage medium storing a program causing a computer device having a processor and a memory to execute a process, the process comprising:

storing, in the memory, a category of the object,

obtaining, by the processor, an object;

calculating, by the processor, a golden division line, the golden division line being a line that divides at the golden ratio a distance between two reference lines, each reference line being determined on the basis of a target area in which the object is displayed; and

editing, by the processor, a size of the object so that the object contacts two lines, the two lines being selected from among the calculated golden division line and the boundary of the target area, the size of the object being edited so that the object contacts two lines, the two lines being selected on the basis of the category stored in memory.

16. A computer-readable storage medium storing a program causing a computer device having a processor and a memory to execute a process, the process comprising:

storing, in the memory, a category of the object,

obtaining, by the processor, an object;

calculating, by the processor, a golden division line, the golden division line being a line that divides at the golden ratio a distance between two reference lines, each reference line being determined on the basis of a target area in which the object is displayed; and

editing, by the processor, a size of the object so that the object contacts two lines, the two lines being selected from among the calculated golden division line and the boundary of the target area, the size of the object so that the object contacts two lines, the two lines being selected on the basis of the category stored in the memory.
