Abstract
A string arrangement device includes: a character string arrangement data acquisition unit for acquiring character string arrangement data for arranging a character string along a road; a control point sequence creation unit for creating a control point sequence from a road node sequence included in the character string arrangement data acquired by the character string arrangement data acquisition unit; a curve approximation unit for creating a node sequence obtained by approximating with a straight line a curve from the control point sequence created by the control point sequence creation unit; a curve approximation node sequence storage unit for storing the node sequence created by the curve approximation unit as a curve approximation node sequence; and a character string arrangement processing unit for performing arrangement processing of the character string based on the curve approximation node sequence stored in the curve approximation node sequence storage unit.
