Abstract

A data edit unit creates an employee master file and a position table file. An intra-block arrangement definition table is created via a data input unit. An intermediate table creation unit creates an intermediate table by looking up the employee master file and a position table in the position table file, and stores the intermediate table in an intermediate table file. A hierarchical block development unit creates print image data of an organization chart in which print image data of respective blocks are arranged at corresponding hierarchical positions, in a hierarchical image memory by looking up the intermediate table and the intra-block arrangement definition table. A print image development unit connects the blocks by ruled lines in accordance with the hierarchy connection relationship by looking up the intermediate table, thus completing print image data of an organization chart. The organization chart is printed out via a print unit.
