An information processing apparatus is disclosed. A processor selects cross-section shape information and texture information corresponding to a view direction from a memory. The memory stores the cross-section shape information representing a cross-section shape and the texture information representing a texture of a cross-section for each of cross-sections in a vicinity of a line segment pertinent to a phenomenon portion. The processor generates visualization data used to visualize the line segment in a three dimensional image by using the cross-section shape information and the texture information being selected and displays the line segment based on the visualization data on a display part.
