Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for visualizing statistical data by which highly visible plotting is conducted at all times by arranging rectangles corresponding to individual data in an order corresponding to the partition values of hierarchies and displaying a desired rectangle in a shape close to a square. SOLUTION: A plurality of band-shaped areas are formed in an area expressing whole statistical data to be processed, and rectangles expressing the individual statistical data are arranged in the band-shaped areas, so that the image data of the area expressing the whole statistical data can be generated. Furthermore, with respect to the column of the rectangles in the image data, the rectangles corresponding to the individual data adjacent to each other in the statistical data are rearranged in each band-shaped area so as to be made adjacent to each other also in the image, so that the image data can be updated.
