<p>DISPLAY PROCESSOR SYSTEM A stand-alone, interactive processor and display system for displaying, performing positioning, sizing, and performing supportive composition functions for newspaper advertising layout. Interactive work stations position copy, edit and correct text, adjust style and point sizes, to accomplish accurate compostion functions. A Bit Image Memory digitally stores all displayed patterns directly to minimize the response time of the system to operator inputs. An arithmetic unit and character generator are disclosed which produce lines and characters which accurately represent the final copy. The arithmetic unit or processor includes a special purpose internally programmed arithmetic processor unit for controlling all display update operations in a newspaper advertising composition display system. Internal control is achieved through a Programmable Read-Only Memory in which all program operations are prestored. The arithmetic unit controls dot matrix character symbol representations in size and position.</p> |
