1. An imaging mass spectrometer, comprising:
an analysis execution section configured to perform a mass spectrometric analysis on each of a plurality of measurement points set within a two-dimensional area on a sample, to collect mass spectrum data over a predetermined mass-to-charge-ratio range for each measurement point;
a condition memory section configured to store a data matrix creation condition to be used for creation of a data matrix based on the mass spectrum data acquired by the analysis in the analysis execution section; and
a data matrix creation section configured to begin, in a middle of an execution of the analysis by the analysis execution section, the creation of the data matrix based on mass spectrum data already collected until then, according to the data matrix creation condition stored in the condition memory section.
