plotscanner 0.0.3

The application for digitizing images of plots.

Plotscanner

A Python3 application used to convert images of functional data plots to digital format. Often data is presented in documents or scientific articles in the form of figures. In order to use this data, it must be digitized in some way. This program allows you to get a scanned image of a plot in JPEG or PNG format and quickly digitize the values. The numbers can be saved to a file (CSV, XLS, TXT, etc.) and used.

Documentation

You can find the documentation for all of the application's basic modules here.

Installation

$ pip install plotscanner

Docker-image

You can download a docker-image of the application if you want to use the back-end part in the container

$ docker pull ils0/plotscanner

or build it yourself with the following command:

$ docker build -t plotscanner .

Run

Start the application by running the command in the terminal: $ plotscanner

Follow the instructions in the app window to work correctly.

Image preparing

Plotscanner requires the input data in the correct form to work right. Before loading the image, crop it and save only the axes and lines of the plot like this.
