Abstract
An information processing apparatus that generates positional information relating to an energy transmitting position includes a shape information obtaining unit that obtains shape information of a region, a circumscribed rectangle generating unit that generates a circumscribed rectangle of the region, a parallel line generating unit that generates parallel lines extending across the region at a predetermined interval, an intersection calculating unit that calculates a first intersection point between a parallel line of the parallel lines and a line segment of an outline defining the region that is generated based on the shape information, and a data generating unit that generates parallel line data by dividing the parallel line at the first intersection point and removing a divided line that overlaps with the circumscribed rectangle, or by shortening an edge point of the parallel line to the first intersection point.
