    <p>Plot Digitizer is a Java program used to digitize scanned plots of functional data. Often data is found presented in reports and references as functional X-Y type scatter or line plots. In order to use this data, it must somehow be digitized. This program will allow you to take a scanned image of a plot (in GIF, JPEG, or PNG format) and quickly digitize values off the plot just by clicking the mouse on each data point. The numbers can then be saved to a text file and used where ever you need them. Plot Digitizer works with both linear and logarithmic axis scales. Besides digitizing points off of data plots, this program can be used to digitize other types of scanned data (such as scaled drawings or orthographic photos).</p>
    <p>Plot Digitizer has some handy features to make digitizing plots easier:</p>
    <ul>
      <li>Recalibrate the Y axis without having to recalibrate the X axis (multiple sets of data are commonly plotted with the same X axis).</li>
      <li>Insert points between two already digitized points by right clicking and choosing "Insert" from the pop-up menu.</li>
      <li>Delete points by right-clicking on the points and choosing "Delete".</li>
      <li>Compute the length of a digitized curve and you can compute the area of a digitized polygon.</li>
      <li>Move points by clicking and dragging them.</li>
      <li>Zoom images in and out.</li>
      <li>Save calibrations for an image for later use.</li>
      <li>Unlimited undo/redo.</li>
      <li>Semi-automatically digitize lines off a plot.</li>
    </ul>
