    A large quantity of published data is available only in the form of plots and it is often difficult to extract numerical data accurately out of these pictures. There are several softwares available to aid this process, but most are either paid or poorly written.

    Graph click allows you to specify the axes coordinates one axis at a time. Engauge requires that you know both coordinates along each axis. This is not often possible. I have a graph where I don't know the x and y coordinates for the axes -- just one or the other. For certain types of graphs, Engauge is useless.

    Plot Digitizer is a Java program used to digitize scanned plots of functional data. Often data is found presented in reports and references as functional X-Y type scatter or line plots. In order to use this data, it must somehow be digitized.

    Sometimes it is necessary to extract data values from graphs, e.g. in most scientific publications only plots but no data values are published. DigitizeIt makes it easy to actually get back numbers from such a plot!

    g3data is used for extracting data from graphs. In publications graphs often are included, but the actual data is missing. g3data makes the extracting process much easier.

    Graphs are great for understanding results in reports and papers, but to use those results in your own analysis, you'll want the underlying numerical data. Your analysis will be more flexible because you can easily include all the data from the graph, rather than just a few...
