SYNOPSIS explore image legend tolerance scan-area interval [translation] DESCRIPTION image the image file to scan, it should be a 32-bit PNG with an alpha channel legend the legend file that contains a list of names and base line colors in this format [("Frame", RGBA 255 0 0 255),("Line", RGBA 0 0 255 255)] tolerance how much color components can deviate from base colors S strict: allow no deviation (= TC 0 0 0 0) TA m maximum delta for all components (= TC m m m m) TC r g b a individiual maximum delta values for corresponding components scan-area which part of the image is to be scanned (w = image width, h = image height) F all image area (= B 0 0 w h) O l t offset from left and top (= B l t w h) M l t r b margins from left, top, (= B l t w-r h-b) right and bottom B l t r b a plot box; with left, top, right and bottom positions in pixels interval horizontal scan interval in pixels, this value is read as a floating point number so you can give 4,5 for a scan translation 2d translation to be applied to the output pixels Identity output pixels exactly as they are located in the input image; old default with full scan area Box Bottom output pixel positions relevant to the left and bottom lines of the plot box; new default Box Top output pixel positions relevant to the left and top lines of the plot box HISTORY 0.0.6 - Added basic 2D translation support - Changed default 2D translation from Identity to "Box Bottom" To get old behaviour from previous versions: use Identity 0.0.5 - First version created in collaboration with An Le Thi Thanh KNOWN ISSUES - It is only a very early hack ^__^"!! - Line occlusion causes matches to fail. - Supports only 32-bit PNGs (with an alpha/transparency channel). - No automatic recognition whatsoever of figures/plots given a full page. Lots of happy moments with Gimp and Inkscape!! EXAMPLES - The example plots provided with this package are from: Incorporating Environmental factors in Modelling Malaria Transmission in under five children in Rural Burkina Faso Inaugural Dissertation to attain the degree of Doctor Scientiarum humanarum (Dr. Sc.
