1. A method of outputting an ink file, the method comprising:
- generating M (M is an integer of 1 or more) pieces of stroke data on a basis of event data generated as M input devices move, respectively;
generating N (N is an integer of 1 or more and M or less) kinds of metadata identifying the M number of input devices;
generating a metadata block as information associating the M pieces of stroke data with the N kinds of metadata; and
writing the M pieces of stroke data and the metadata block to the ink file.
