October 15, 2005
Ver. 2.4.1
Fixed a bug with computing polygon areas.



January 15, 2005
Ver. 2.4.0
Added immediate mouse position feedback display.

Added "shift+drag" method for rapidly digitizing many points.



October 1, 2004
Ver. 2.3.1
Fixed a bug that caused Y-axes with logarithmic scales to not be digitized properly.



September 4, 2004
Ver. 2.3.0
Fixed a bug that prevented the auto-digitizing feature from working in some non-US locales.

Added the ability to compute the length of a digitized curve and the area of a digitized polygon from a new Analysis menu.

Added the ability to optionally use the x-axis calibration for the the y-axis as well.

The output CSV file will now always output the numbers in scientific notation to retain the maximum number of significant digits.

The tabular view of the digitized points will now use scientific notation if any of the numbers are small.


July 4, 2004
Ver. 2.2.1
Fixed a bug that prevented the user from being able to select PNG files on certain platforms.

Recompiled the Linux version of the autotrace program so that it would not require the imageMagick libraries to be present.

Modified the About Box to use an external text file for it's content.


June 20, 2004
Ver. 2.2.0
Added the ability to digitize data from plots with logarithmic axis scales (either on the ordinate, or the abscissa or both).

Switched to a new version of the installer that will now work with Windows XP.

Picked up a new version of the library that writes the CSV format data files output from Plot Digitizer.

Removed the last Mac specific source file from this program (I had forgotten about it before and you couldn't run into it on non-Mac platforms at runtime so I hadn't noticed).

May 20, 2004
Ver. 2.1.0
Added user preferences for setting the color of lines, symbols, etc.  The preferences also introduce a new feature (turned off by default) to output the untransformed pixels of each of the selected points in addition to the transformed coordinates.

Started using a new library that improves MacOS X integration.  As a side-effect, the application on any platform can now have multiple digitization sessions (windows) open at a time and there is a "Windows" menu that can be used to navigate between all open windows.

January 21, 2004
Ver. 2.0.0
Major rewrite of Plot Digitizer from top to bottom.  Major new feature:  semi-automatic plot digitizing using "autotrace".  Also added unlimited undo/redo functionality, the ability to insert points between two that have already been digitized, the ability to delete points (by right-clicking on the point), and the ability to move already digitized points by dragging them.

June 27, 2003
Ver. 1.4.0
Fixed minor display bugs.  Added the ability to recalibrate the Y axis while keeping the existing X axis calibration.  Saves a lot of time when you have multiple plots that share the same X axis.

November 10, 2002,
Ver. 1.3.1

Fixed a bug that caused an incompatibility with Java 1.4 or later.
August 22, 2002
Ver. 1.3.0
There used to be a limit of 100 data points that could be digitized at a time. That limit has been removed. You can now digitize as many data points as your heart desires.

Made it possible to copy the contents of the table window (the table showing the numbers resulting from digitizing) to the clipboard in a tab-delimited format that works well for pasting into Excel or any other spreadsheet like program. Now you don't have to save the results to a file and then load them into Excel as a separate step.

June 17, 2002 Fixed a major bug in the transformation of the coordinates from screen coordinates to plot coordinates. The bug would show up when trying to digitize plots with significant rotation angles.

Picked up new versions of underlying libraries.

Dropped support for MacOS 8/9.

November 23, 2001
Added support for MacOS X application bundles. Program now remembers location of last plot opened during a session.

June 14, 2001

Fixed a bug with working on plots that are rotated.
June 7, 2001
Fixed bug that made app MacOS specific. Added ability to edit numbers in table window.

June 3, 2001
Original release of my Plot Digitizer application.




Made on a Mac!
