πΈ DESCRIPTION πΈ
2001-01-01;
okay so picture this: g3data is a tool for extracting data from scanned graphs. here's the tea β when graphs get published in scientific articles, the actual data is usually not explicitly given π like they show you the pretty little lines and the dots and justβ¦ don't hand over the numbers?? rude. and that's exactly where g3data comes in, because it makes the process of extracting this data easy π«Ά
π OPTIONS π
-max x yβ if the picture is larger x-wise than x or y-wise than y, the picture gets scaled down accordingly. otherwise this parameter has no effect at all, it's just vibing π¦-scale factorβ scales the picture size by factor. heads up bestie: this parameter nullifies the effect of the-maxparameter, so pick your fighter π-coords llx lly rux ruyβ preset the coordinates of the left lower (ll) corner and the right upper (ru) corner. corner girlies rise π-errorsβ prints out the error of the x value in column 3 and the error of the y value in column 4 of the output. spreadsheets said let me see those error bars π-lnxβ use logarithmic scale for x coordinates β¨-lnyβ use logarithmic scale for y coordinates β¨filename(s) ...β the filename(s) of the image(s) to open πΌοΈ supported image formats: PNG, XPM, JPEG, TIFF, PNM, RAS, BMP and GIF. so many options, we love a flexible queen π
π USAGE π
okay here's how the girlies actually run it, copy-paste core fr fr:
g3data -scale 2 -errors test1.png
g3data -scale 2 -lny -errors test2.png
see how -lny just slides in there for the log-scale y moment? iconic. periodt π
π BUGS π
None known. we are thriving, not a single bug in sight, no cap π§β¨
