2. Select the diagram part

The second step involves selecting the diagram part. This is the part where your data is displayed, but without the vertical and horizontal axes or axes descriptions.

Being exact in this step significantly reduces the later work and simplifies the automatic digitization.

  1. Click the Select data part button in the digitization control.

  2. Click on the upper left cross to select it

  3. Hold the left mouse button and drag the cross to the upper left corner of the diagram. Make sure you don’t include the y-axis and x-axis ticks.

    You can also use the zoom and navigation tools in the figure toolbar for navigation.
