About:
WebPlotDigitizer is a specialized tool for extracting numerical data from images of graphs and charts. It allows users to calibrate axes and digitize data points from scanned documents, photographs, or screenshots. This is invaluable for researchers needing to recover data from legacy literature or third-party reports where original data files are unavailable.
Key Features:
  • Axis calibration for linear, log, and polar coordinates
  • Manual and semi-automated data point tracking
  • Support for various chart types (scatter, bar, line plots)
  • Export data to CSV or JSON formats
Use Cases:
  • Extracting data from published scientific papers for meta-analysis
  • Recovering data points from legacy printouts or screenshots
  • Digitizing data from maps and geographical plots
Alternatives:
  • DigitizeIt – Commercial alternative with similar functionality but requires a paid license
  • PlotDigitizer – Web-based alternative with fewer features and less robust calibration options
