<p>The outline of an embroidery region is determined and then a center line of the embroidery region is determined. Starting from one point on the center line, a search is made for end points and branch points on the center line. At branch points, bisectors for spaces between branches are generated to divide the embroidery region into plural closures. Near the end point, the orientation of the embroidery lines is determined to be perpendicular to the center line. Near the branch point, the orientation of the embroidery lines is determined to be parallel to a line connecting the intersection points of the bisectors and the outline. Embroidery data are obtained by a fill operation, and the orientations of the respective embroidery lines are set to interpolate the above-mentioned two orientations. The needle points are determined on the outline. Near the branches, the needle points are determined on a closer side on the outline or said bisector. <IMAGE></p> |
