This package is used to extract X, Y values from 2D plots.
Clone this repo to your computer and open the julia REPL. Navigate to the DigitizePlot directory and activate the environment by typing

To digitize points from a 2D plot you need to call the digitizePlot() function which will open a new window. The needed input of this function are the boundary consitions of the X and Y axis, each as a Tuple as well as the path to the image to be digitized as a String.
Once the window has opened, you are free to click in the window to add points to create a line (left mouse button). This line is a list of points in the coordinate system defined by the boundary conditions of the axis. The coordinates of the new point will appear in the REPL.
If you misclick, you can remove the last point by holding the d key when clicking the left mouse button.
Multiple lines can be generated by holding the n key when clicking the left mouse button. The number of lines will be shown in the REPL.
To switch between lines, hold the s key while clicking the left mouse button. The active line will be shown in the REPL and will have a different color than the other lines.
To export the values of the active line, hold the e key while clicking the left mouse button. The default name of the .csv file will be "digitized_data_line#.csv". The name can be changed as a keyword argument in the function.
To end the digitalisation, click the right mouse button. The main function is automatically terminated. However, the user is asked to close the GLMakie window to avoid changes in the last line. Afterwards, the user can either start from the beginning with another digitalisation or continue with something else.
