Abstract
Disclosed is a character string placement device including an evaluation function calculator that calculates a plurality of evaluation function values, each of which shows an evaluation of placement of a character string placed at each of a plurality of candidate points on a node series; and a minimum evaluation function value storer that determines at which of the plurality of candidate points to place the character string on a basis of comparison between the plurality of evaluation function values calculated by the evaluation function calculator. The evaluation function calculator includes: a character gap function calculator that calculates a character gap function value; an angle function calculator that calculates an angle function value; and an evaluation function value calculator that calculates the evaluation function value of the character string placed at each of the plurality of candidate points based on the character gap function value and the angle function value.
