[SciPy-User] Extracting data from a figure in a paper

[Yuxiang Wang]

Gary and Johann,

Thank you very much for both suggestions!

1) I have tried Engauge Digitizer and it worked great; I highly recommend
it. It solved my problem!
2) I also tried yoink, and since I have this inexplicable love for python
=D I really love it too! Hopefully it will grow more mature and become more
and more popular!

-Shawn
