Abstract
A control unit acquires an interval between weaving threads in a woven fabric, and changes an interval between ruled lines constituting a ruled line group in a test pattern on the basis of the acquired interval between weaving threads. When the interval between weaving threads in the woven fabric matches the interval between ruled lines constituting the ruled line group in the test pattern or when these intervals are in the relationship of integer multiple, ruled lines in the test pattern match the interval between weaving threads in the woven fabric. When they match, it is difficult to recognize the difference between the test pattern and the shadow of the weaving thread in the woven fabric. The control unit changes the interval between ruled lines constituting the ruled line group in the test pattern on the basis of the interval between weaving threads. This enables the difference recognition to be less difficult.
