title: SCANGRAPH: a program for digitization of graphs using an image scanner.
abstract: The program SCANGRAPH has been developed for vectorizing any drawing or graph in the form of a single continuous line. With the use of the software, the raster image of a graph in the TIFF format as generated from an optical scanner or digitizing video system can be converted to the corresponding digitized graph with x and y coordinates given. The digitized data can be output in the ASCII format for importing to other software packages. Options for peak identification, data smoothing and compression, and graph comparison are also provided for data manipulation.
