PURPOSE:To omit the small houses and narrow roads based on a certain size for easy viewing by performing the reference to a rough sketch dictionary according to the elements sorted by an element sorting device to change the ratio of reduction and to perform the thinning operation in response to those elements and obtaining a rough sketch. CONSTITUTION:An element sorting device 7 sorts the elements of the graphic patterns of houses, roads, etc., and character patterns of characters, marks, etc., written in a drawing based on the dot train data. A rough sketch producing device 11 produces a rough sketch according to the contents of a rough sketch dictionary 9. For the code data turned into a vector among those elements existing in a drawing range, the elements turned into vectors are deleted out of a subject of processing if the element size is smaller than the size designated by the dictionary 9. While each vector data is converted in response to the ratio of reduction to the element turned into a vector if the element size is larger than the designated size. The data on the elements like coded characters, marks, etc., segmented from the picture data are produced by converting only the position information on a center where the elements exist according to the ratio of reduction of the dictionary 9 together with the coded data kept as it is.
