ScanIt

Working with graphs sometimes requires you to process the data they contain. While you can extract information manually, using pens and papers, there is an easier way.

You can rely on third-party software, such as ScanIt, that can help you digitize your graphs, whether they are physical drawings or image files on your computer.

This application comes with a minimalistic, yet classy design that complements its overall simplicity. You can easily explore, understand and make use of its functions, as there are little to no hidden functions and many of them are rather intuitive.

It is possible to encounter certain difficulties while operating it, therefore you need to have medium knowledge about graphs and plots in order to avoid that situation.

You can add content in two ways: by importing images from your computer, or by scanning a physical graph drawing.

Prior to defining the files you need to process, it is possible that you extract data from your projects with ease, as the application provides you with various ways of doing so.

First, you need to define the axes by setting the “0” point and the “x” and “y” coordinates. After doing so, the utility allows you to specify points on the graph by clicking the plot in the desired locations.

It is possible that you define curves by clicking its ends so the application can start drawing it. If the selection is incomplete, you can fix it by clicking additional areas that have not been included.

You can set the program to automatically scan for certain symbols and use them as points in the graph.

To wrap it up, ScanIt can help you extract data from your projects with ease, but note that it requires you to have medium knowledge about graphs and plots.
