Hi R, Wanted to check if there are any packages available for getting the (x,y) data points of a graph or a plot, which is in the image format. Say, the plot could be a published report, and I want to get the points of the curve plotted. (I am speaking something related the subject discussed in http://www.uniphiz.com/digitizing.htm) Thanks, Shubha This e-mail may contain

Hi while teaching R, the question came up if it would be possible to add a picture (saved on the HDD) to a graph (generated by plot()), which we could not answer. It might easily kill a clean graph, but: is there a way of doing this, even one should not do it? On a similar line of thought: is it possibe to define own symbols so that they can be used in the plot function with pch=? Rainer
