All data can be saved to a text file, or be copied and pasted. It handles logarithmic and linear scales, and allows the user to choose the display formats. Simon's description of DigiGraf's abilities is better than what I could do, so I quote: "DigiGraf will translate, rotate, and scale your data, which can be entered as individual points or by scanning at a certain rate per second. You can also digitize graphical data that is already in your Mac, so if you have a scanner you can use that to grab data as well as a mouse or tablet. You can use DigiGraf with either a normal mouse or with a Summagraphics Bit Pad Plus (although Simon says he hasn't tested the latest version of DigiGraf thoroughly with the Bit Pad Plus). From Simon's description, I gather that DigiGraf will do much the same thing as FlexiTrace, although it may not be as polished and will certainly not get the same support. It was a program called FlexiTrace, and was reviewed for us by Len Schwer. Those of you who have been with us for a while might remember the first product review we published, sometime last January. It is a digitizing program that allows you to turn a graph, diagram, mesh, or contour back into the original numbers (an extremely useful transformation for those who need it). I personally have not seen DigiGraf, and to tell the truth, I'm unlikely to look for it because I have no need of its abilities. I wish to applaud Simon's forthrightness in dealing with this situation - most people would merely have stopped upgrading the program and continued to cash the occasional check. Simon said that he no longer has the time to support the program to the extent that he feels he must to justify its existence as shareware. ![]() ![]() Simon Tortike just announced on Usenet that he is transforming his DigiGraf digitizing application from shareware to freeware. ![]()
