Abstract
According to the present invention, writing data capable of suppressing a data amount and a calculation amount in a multi charged particle beam writing apparatus is generated from design data including a figure having a curve. The present embodiment relates to a writing data generating method for generating writing data used in a multi charged particle beam writing apparatus. The method includes calculating a pair of curves each representing a curve portion of a figure included in design data, the curves each being defined by a plurality of control points, and generating the writing data by expressing a position of a second control point adjacent in a traveling direction of the curve to a first control point of the plurality of control points as a displacement from the first control point in the traveling direction of the curve and a displacement from the first control point in a direction orthogonal to the traveling direction.
