1. A minimization method of minimizing a size of a file, wherein for each of a plurality of coordinates the file can optionally store data either as an absolute value or a relative value to a previous coordinate, the minimization method comprising:
preparing an absolute value length that is equal to or larger than a largest data length among data lengths of the data of the plurality of coordinates and a plurality of relative value lengths that is equal to or less than the absolute value length; and
in a case where it is assumed that, for each relative value length of the plurality of relative value lengths, among the data of the plurality of coordinates, data with a data length equal to or less than the relative value length is stored in the file as a relative value of the relative value length, and data with a data length larger than the relative value length is stored in the file as an absolute value of the absolute value length, identifying a relative value length among the plurality of relative value lengths causing minimization of the size.
