Tabular form editing with a hexadecimal grid graph model

We discuss tabular forms. It is known in the previous studies that the “octgrid” is a data structure for single layer tabular forms with ruled line preserving algorithms. And the “hexadeci-grid” is known as a data structure for multiply layered tabular forms which is a generalization of the “octgrid”. Our purpose of this paper is to propose a new algorithm based on the “hexadeci-grid” model for editing tabular forms.
