digitize_graph: Digitize graphs using package digitize

In mottensmann/DBChecks: Checking Database

Description

Digitizes one or multiple data sets within a single figure. One or both axes might be logarithmic. The user needs to define to values on both axes for calibration purposes. It´s not necessary to specify the global minimum or maximum values but coordinates that are possible to define precisely.

Usage

digitize_graph(
  fname,
  x_min,
  x_max,
  y_min,
  y_max,
  data_sets = 1,
  labels = 1:data_sets,
  log = c("", "x", "y", "xy"),
  plot = TRUE
)

Arguments

fname	Filename or path of the graphic to read
x_min	Minimum value on the horizontal axis
x_max	Maximum value on the horizontal axis
y_min	Minimum value on the vertical axis
y_max	Maximum value on the vertical axis
data_sets	defines how many data_sets will be extracted from the graph
labels	character vector containing labels for data_sets
log	defines logarithmic scales. By default scaling is assumed to be linear
plot	If TRUE, the extracted data is plotted

Value

a data frame
