Electron beam drawing apparatus, electron beam drawing method, and storage medium

An electron beam drawing method performed using an accepting unit, a graphic width acquiring unit, a generating unit, and a drawing unit, comprising:

• an accepting step of the accepting unit accepting input graphic information, which is information representing at least one graphic;
• a graphic width acquiring step of the graphic width acquiring unit acquiring a width of each of the at least one graphic represented by the input graphic information;
• a generating step of the generating unit generating approximate graphic information representing at least one approximate graphic, which is a graphic configured by at least one rectangle matching the width of the graphic, and is a graphic that approximates each of the at least one graphic represented by the input graphic information;
• and
• a drawing step of the drawing unit drawing the at least one approximate graphic represented by the approximate graphic information generated by the generating unit.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium in which a program is stored, the program causing a computer to function as:

• an accepting unit that accepts input graphic information, which is information representing at least one graphic;
• a graphic width acquiring unit that acquires a width of each of the at least one graphic represented by the input graphic information;
• a generating unit that generates approximate graphic information representing at least one approximate graphic, which is a graphic configured by at least one rectangle matching the width of the graphic, and is a graphic that approximates each of the at least one graphic represented by the input graphic information;
• and
• a drawing unit that draws the at least one approximate graphic represented by the approximate graphic information generated by the generating unit.
