Formula input method and system for interactive formula typesetting software

Abstract

The invention discloses a formula inputting method for interactive formula typesetting software and belongs to the field of printing and typesetting technology. In the interactive formula typesetting software, the efficiency of formula inputting is low. The method classifies and nominates an operator or a sign, establishes a mapping relation form between the name of the operator or sign and the operator or sign and inputs the name of the operator or sign in a character inputting region of a formula inputting method interface; according to the mapping relation, the operator or sign matched with the input name is displayed in a formula display region of the formula inputting method interface; and the operator or sign is selected and inserted into a type face. The method can rapidly input a formula and improve the efficiency of formula typesetting.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of printing and typesetting, and in particular relates to a formula input method and system for interactive formula typesetting software. Background technique [0002] There are interactive typesetting methods and non-interactive typesetting methods for formula typesetting, and non-interactive typesetting methods such as flow typesetting and so on. The interactive formula typesetting software is mainly to reduce the threshold height of typesetting formulas and make it easy for users to learn and use. But compared with non-interactive, especially for a very skilled non-interactive user, there will be a certain disadvantage in speed. The reasons, aside from the technical differences in implementation, are mainly in the following aspects: (1) The interactive formula typesetting method requires constant switching between the mouse and the keyboard, and this switching takes a certain amount of time; ( 2) To sea...

Problems solved by technology

The reasons, aside from the technical differences in implementation, are mainly in the following aspects: (1) The interactive formula typesetting method requires constant switching between the mouse and the keyboard, and this switching takes a certain amount of time; ( 2) To search for operators and symbols, various operators and symbols in the interactive formula typesetting method need to be searched in the toolbar template on the layout. Due to the huge number of operators and symbols, you can directly find the desired operation It is not an easy and fast thing to search symbols or symbols. This kind of search is also accompanied by the hand-to-mouse switch, which is very time-consuming, and non-interactive ones do not need to be searched; (3) The switch of the focus of the eyes, due to To find the desired operator or symbol, the eye focus must jump from the input part of the formula to the toolbar and other parts, which also takes time and will interrupt the input rhythm; (4) because the interactive operation needs to It is far more complicated than the language of the book version, so the operator's thinking must also be jumping, which will also consume part of the time and disrupt the rhythm

Therefore, the efficiency of inputting formulas in interactive formula typesetting software is low
