Abstract:
1. A layout system, comprising: a layout-element selection device to select a layout element from a layout-element storage device to store a plurality of the layout elements; a layout device to arrange the layout element selected by the layout-element selection device in a predetermined layout region; a correction-object input device to input layout result data of the layout device as correction-object layout result data; a comparison-object input device to input comparison-object layout result data as an object to be compared; a similarity calculation device to calculate similarity between the correction-object layout result data input by the correction-object input device and the comparison-object layout result data input by the comparison-object input device; and a layout correction means device to correct the correction-object layout result data input by the correction-object input device based on the similarity calculated by the similarity calculation device, the layout correction device correcting the correction-object layout result data so that the degree of correction of the correction-object layout result data increases as the similarity calculated by the similarity calculation device increases.
