UN-SCAN-IT

UN-SCAN-IT is a professional software application designed specifically for helping you convert graphical images into (x,y) data. You can extract (x,y) data values from published graphs, strip charts or other graph images and export the information to a spreadsheet.

When you run the tool for the first time you are given the option to choose between three features, namely digitize a graph, load (x,y) data file or jump directly to the main menu.

The layout looks clean and well organized, and you can also make use of context sensitive help throughout the digitizing and graph screens.

UN-SCAN-IT gives you the possibility to choose between sample graph photos, such as standard graph, graph with background grid lines, graph with colored lines, graph with intersecting lines, and graph with multiple curves and symbol types.

You can digitize your own sample image. The application is able to read information from different file formats, such as BMP, TIFF, GIF, JPEG, PCX, DCX and PNG.

Once you upload a photo from your computer, you can choose between different graph digitizing modes, such as standard line, intersecting line, cyclic graph, bar graph/mass spec, dashed/dotted line, contour plot, shapes/drawings, symbols/scatter plot, (x,y) digitizing tablet or polar digitizing tablet. Additional information is offered about each digitizing mode.

Several dedicated parameters are embedded for configuring each graph digitizing process in detail, such as aspect ratio, color type, scale, grid line filter, line follow method and algorithm, as well as speed.

UN-SCAN-IT lets you paste (x,y) data from clipboard, adjust x data spacing, copy (x,y) data to the clipboard, clear (x,y) data, set digitizing speed and screen colors, and adjust the digitizing resolution.

When it comes to photo editing features, you are allowed to preview the image, rotate it to different angles, change color depth, increase or decrease the brightness, invert the photo, restore the original picture and save the edited image to a photo file format on your computer (e.g. TIFF, JPEG, PCX). You may scan photos.

UN-SCAN-IT comes with a multitude of configuration settings for helping you convert scanned graphs to (x,y) data. The intuitive feature pack makes it suitable for all types of users, regardless of their experience level.
