Main function: vectorization of raster graphics. Convert all existing paper charts and diagrams to electronic form with this easy to learn program. Just scan the graph, open the image in Graph Converter Lite, calibrate, and the modern algorithm for automatic graphs recognition creates the tables automatically. May be programmed to ignore noise on the image, cutting down on wasted paper. You may also manually chart point placement and edit points, also automatic. The result may be saved into a text file and imported to a popular table processor - MS Excel. This software is able to convert graphs on paper into a vector form and create a corresponding data points table. You can convert existing paper charts and diagrams to electronic form with this software. There is not much learning involves when trying to use the program. All you really need to do is scan the graph and then open the raster image in the Graph Converter. Once you have calibrated the utility a table of data points is created automatically and a vector drawing of the graph also is created. The interface gives you two modes of conversion manual as well as an automatic mode. While the main area of the display is given over to the chart image, the area on the right displays the created table of data points. Calibrate again gives you a means of calibrating the software. The controls are quite intuitive and not much learning is involved. Even a completely inexperienced user should start being productive quite quickly. More sophisticated features include reduction of noise. You can program the utility to ignore noise (spike in value, abnormal dips etc.) in the image. You may also manually chart point placement and edit points. The result may be saved into a text file. The data then can be exported to MS Excel and the table manipulated for further insight into the data. Quite a useful tool to get legacy data available on paper into a computer for further work use.
