The invention provides a waveform information display apparatus, wherein the property of waveform data is grasped by the light of nature. Specifically, digital waveform data stored in a memory is split into a plurality of time segments, and compressed display data is generated in each of the time segments. A waveform is displayed on the screen by the compressed display data. Then, a property specified for the waveform is extracted from the digital waveform data in each of the time segments, and a value expressing the specified property in the time segment is obtained on the basis of the extracted property. Further, a waveform display portion in each of the time segments displayed on the screen on the basis of the compressed display data in each of the time segments is displayed in a state wherein the obtained value expressing the property is reflected on the waveform display portion.
