    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!

    Take any graph or data from any source (Web or PDF document, for example), add your comments, and perform any manipulations, like nonlinear regression or curve fitting. Then print your results or export them to Excel or other database.

    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...
