Abstract
An image of respective figures is cut out by selecting a figure from tire CAD drawings, and an arranging position of the figure is set in accordance with a distance in a radial direction form a tire center and a deformed angle in a circumferential direction of the tire from a designated location, so that a height of respective regions of the cut-out image is set. Then, the cut-out image is transformed into an image having a gray scale in accordance with the height by using the height information of respective regions, and, at an arranging position of the figure, the image having a gray scale is sampled by a predetermined interval in a radial direction from a tire center and is sampled by a predetermined angle interval in a circumferential direction of the tire, so that master data are created by the image and a distance between intersecting points becomes equal.
