Embroidery data generating apparatus, embroidery data generating method, and program for embroidery data generating apparatus

Abstract

An embroidery data generating apparatus includes: a coordinate position registration unit that registers coordinate positions of multiple track points detected at predetermined intervals from a track of a continuous line input via a screen, with them associated with a track point input order; a reference distance registration unit that registers a stitching pitch length as a reference distance; and an embroidery data generating unit configured to generate a desired track point on the continuous line as a needle location start point, to select particular track points that are subsequently input from among the multiple track points as reference track points, to convert the coordinate positions of the reference track points to arrange them in input order from the needle location start point at intervals of the reference distance, to generate the converted points as needle location points, and to generate data of the generated needle location points as embroidery data.
