Re: digitize a curve from an image

[mchinand(at)midway.uchicago.edu (Mike Chinander)]

It's not any IDL program, but check out g3data at:

http://www.physics.helsinki.fi/~frantz/software/g3data.html

It should do what you want.  It looks like it was mainly written for Linux
but it will probably compile under most Unix platforms if you have gtk
installed.  I have compiled it for IRIX 6.5

Hope that helps,
