Graph Digitizing Software

What is UN‑SCAN‑IT ?
The UN-SCAN-IT Graph Digitizing Software converts graph image files to usable (x,y) data automatically. UN‑SCAN‑IT works with most image formats (TIFF, JPG, BMP, GIF, etc.) from any scanner, digital camera, or other image source to digitize data from strip charts, instrumental output, old graphs, published graphs, etc. In addition to the many graph and chart digitizing features, UN‑SCAN‑IT also integrates peak areas, smoothes data, takes derivatives, re‑scales graphs, and exports (x,y) data for use in other software programs.
If you need to get data from graphs or charts... you no longer need to guess at data values, use light tables to compare the features, count squares to find peak areas, or "point and click" on data points with a digitizing tablet. Digitizing graphs and plots with the UN‑SCAN‑IT program is accurate, quick, and easy.
With UN-SCAN-IT Graph Digitizing Software you can...
- Convert hard copy graphs, plots, and charts into real (x,y) data
- Automatic image digitizing using your scanner and images
- Automatically digitize strip chart and xy recorder output
- Compare and analyze data from graphs that are on different scales
- Compare your data with published graphs of other investigators
- Digitize old graphs and plots for comparison with new data
- Use any scanner like an xy digitizer tablet
- Re‑scale and append existing hard copy graphs
- Graph data, subtract background, smooth data, fit data, etc.
- Find peak areas without using the "cut and weigh" technique
- Analyze and store hard copy graphs in digital (x,y) format
- Prepare publication quality graphs from messy originals
- Save the data in (x,y) ASCII, JCAMP, and clipboard format
- Export xy data to other spreadsheet, data analysis, and graphics programs
- And more!

How UN‑SCAN‑IT Works
Although the UN-SCAN-IT Graph Digitizing Software has many options and features, the basic operation simply consists of automatically converting an image (TIFF, JPEG, BMP, GIF, etc.) into useful (x,y) values through a few simple graph digitizing steps...
