Version 3.1 of Digitize2 has been placed in the upload area of
hobbes.  Many, many thanks to those who have helped with the
debugging of this version.

It will eventually be moved to:

  http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/os2/apps/graphics/scan/digitize3_10.zip 

Digitize2 lets you digitize and measure distances from an image using
your mouse.  You can zoom in and pan around the expanded image.  I
use it to convert old technical data published in journals to a
digital form as well as digitize maps.  The output is ASCII. A DXF
and IDRISI export facility is also provided. 

Digitize2 addresses the special problems inherent in this type of
work.  First, it is rather easy to scan the printed material, but
getting it aligned accurately is a nuisance.  Second, many scanners
and certainly most zerographic reproductions are not uniformly
scaled.  Therefore, Digitize2 by default corrects for rotated images
and it does a linear correction for scale distortions.  Finally,
Digitize2 allows the user to also edit the image.  This will be done
automatically during digitizing or optionally using the various paint
tools available.  This can greatly simplify keeping track of progress
when working on complex imagery.  

There have been massive changes since the last public release.  See
the included documentation.
