PRip is a tool for digitizing scientific plots and graphs, getting numeric data. It works similarly to the popular g3data application, but has a greater emphasis on usability, precision and portability.

PRip is written in Python, and used the Qt toolkit through the PyQt bindings. This language and toolkit selection hopefully makes it very portable.

PRip is entirely open-source, and everyone is free to propose changes or maintain their own, customized version as long as they make their changes open to the public in accordance with the GNU General Public License (for more information check the license file attached to this project).

Current Features

  • Import plots captured on typical image formats (jpg, png, etc).
  • Define reference points for x and y axis.
  • Digitize data using the free zoom view, which allow fast input and great precision.
  • Drag data points to improve the fit.
  • Export data as plain text.
  • Store the digitizing project for latter review or improvement.
