Abstract
An embroidery data creating system capable of creating embroidery data that enables an operator having no knowledge of stitch characteristics to form an embroidered pattern having a beautiful appearance. The operator scans an original picture with an image scanner to obtain image data and coordinates of points defining a closed embroidering region are extracted from the image data. An end point, e.g., the lowermost point among the points specified by the extracted coordinates, is specified, the rightmost point and the leftmost point among the points specified by the extracted coordinates are determined, a stitching direction is determined on the basis of the greatest distance of the distance between the rightmost point and a boundary line passing through the end point and perpendicular to the embroidering direction and the distance between the leftmost point and the boundary line, and embroidery data is created on the basis of the stitching direction and the coordinates of the boundary points.
