    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.

    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!

    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...
