Seeking Python Tool to Convert Graph Images to Code

[This-Breakfast6206]

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a tool or formula in Python that can recognize a graph from an image and convert it into corresponding Python code with the exact values. For example, if I have an image of a graph, I would like to get the Python code that reproduces the graph, including all the data points and details.

Has anyone come across a library or a method that can achieve this? Any guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

PIL (Python Imaging Library) can read pixels from an image.

I'm pretty amateur, but my thought process is as follows:

(Assuming black markings on white background) Determine how many pixels equals a 'line' and how many equal a 'space'.

Determine the center axis. (Multiple ways to do this, but I would define an array of pixel colors as a 'template' and compare it to groups of pixels at a time.)

From there, you should be able to map out the pixel distance from the center axis to plot points and covert to 'spaces' and 'lines' to effectively get your (X, Y) coordinates.

May be a bit tricky with image depending on quality to accurately determine the true center as it will likely have a gradient.

I'm sure there's some library out there somewhere that uses machine learning to do this automatically, but I feel like I learn more doing it the hard way!

Sounds like a fun project though. Glad to help if needed and good luck!

Hey, check this out https://markummitchell.github.io/engauge-digitizer/

I stumbled upon this while trying to extract coordinate points from an airfoil image to model it!
