[-lnx]  [-lny]  [filename(s) ...]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

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 😭 like they show you the pretty little lines and the dots and just… 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 🫢


πŸ’– OPTIONS πŸ’–

  • -max x y β€” 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 πŸ¦‹
  • -scale factor β€” scales the picture size by factor. heads up bestie: this parameter nullifies the effect of the -max parameter, so pick your fighter πŸ’€
  • -coords llx lly rux ruy β€” preset the coordinates of the left lower (ll) corner and the right upper (ru) corner. corner girlies rise πŸ‘‘
  • -errors β€” 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 πŸ“Š
  • -lnx β€” use logarithmic scale for x coordinates ✨
  • -lny β€” use logarithmic scale for y coordinates ✨
  • filename(s) ... β€” the filename(s) of the image(s) to open πŸ–ΌοΈ supported image formats: PNG, XPM, JPEG, TIFF, PNM, RAS, BMP and GIF. so many options, we love a flexible queen πŸ’œ

πŸŽ€ USAGE πŸŽ€

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 πŸ’…
