PLOTCON 2017: Ankit Rohatgi, Reverse engineering chart data with WebPlotDigitizer

[@JasonDoege]

The one dislike is from an 82 year old academic who has spent their entire career doing this manually and is bitter that they didn't have this tool.

[@karameleios]

Congratulations Ankit, you developed an extraordinary tools that I use frequently. Keep up this excellent work. In our research group at university of western australia we used to work with an Igor macroto do this but it wasn't as powerfull and featured as what you have built. Thank you so much!

[@BrianTCarcich]

Ankit, a lot of people have the title "engineer;" you epitomize engineer. Ternary diagrams? This is wonderful, LOL (I'm a ChemE too). A wonderful talk.

[@DavidDji_1989]

This is an amazing tool, thanks a lot for doing it and letting it be free, it will be super useful for a lot of people.

[@sarutobihokage7488]

Thank for this Dr. Rohatgi. Your developed tool, WebPlotDigitizer, helped me greatly in reading and extracting data from Dukler plot in Perry's chemical engineers handbook and the film coefficient for condensation on vertical surfaces in McCabe and Smith's Unit Operations of chemical engineering.

[@beruman]

XKCD gave you a shoutout, such an interesting tool

[@hugocoolens]

Thanks Mr. Ankit, this is a great example of free software

[@nunezdp]

you have saved a lot of my precious time man! well done excellent contribution to scientific research

[@asrajo5728]

Wonderfull, thanks for making an usefull program Mr Ankit, it is very helpful in the world of science 🙏

[@zingarovskij]

What a piece of software! Lightweight, easy to use out of the box, reliable. Congratulation!

[@atanughosh4221]

Thanks a lot Mr. Ankit, you saved my day as I am trying really hard to figure out experimental data from a pdf file for my research work.

[@jakxian3690]

Worked great to flatten both headphone and speaker EQ curves for REW software. Used this to translate various eq curve data (from screenshots, pdf files, and scanned specs) about particular headphones and speakers, into a format used by the free REW (room eq wizard) software. Can now easily switch between headphone-flattening or speaker-flattening curves when mixing audio in either headphones or speakers. Excellent software!

[@johng5295]

Thanks in a million. Great content. Awesome. Very well explained. I couldn't find this explanation--simply put anywhere else. Great teachers are hard to find. Grade: A++💥

[@MrFaiqueShakil]

One of the modern polymath of our generation.

[@Aussie_Engineer]

This tool saved a lot of time for me, it helped me a lot in my research. Thanks for making such a wonderful tool.

[@whynotbanana]

Just found this out today. Absolutely amazing! Thank you for you great work!

[@alvisemiotti7380]

Just want to say thank you. Your tool is very useful. Best

[@AmitKawale]

Used to reverse engineering data from competitor product. Helped a lot! Thanks..

[@BarbaraAboagye]

Amazing work Ankit!

[@611d45]

This is so amazing. Thanks to make that so open and easy to use.

[@quoit99training83]

Helpful and much needed work! Thank you. I just hope to one day master fluid computational dynamics as I am very interested in the field. Again thank you for the tool

[@traavel_bug]

thank you for this software. it has helped me alot

[@maciejpospiech4371]

That's dope!

[@mohammedtouheed2941]

Hello Can this tool be used to digitise two curves from same plot at once..?

[@Maeda_Toshiie]

Fantastic tool. And go chemical engineers!

[@rhot2963]

100+ people cited your work!

[@sebasdnx5959]

Excelente!

[@igt3928]

I would have applauded wen the 200 year old chart was processed

[@Nickah37]

Amazing!

[@badinhbk]

Thank you :)

[@gabrieleeraquelmotta174]

WOW!!!
