Digitalize Figures
To qualitatively compare one's own data with other published data, it is sometimes needed to obtain the concrete data of the respective publication. In that case there are multiple possibilities to get that:
- Python: https://github.com/dilawar/PlotDigitizer
- Matlab: https://blogs.mathworks.com/steve/2013/12/31/automating-data-extraction-1/
- External App: WebPlotDigitizer
How to Export Figures
- before saving the graphics in the respective programs
- check colour maps (see https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-020-19160-7 or https://matplotlib.org/stable/tutorials/colors/colormaps.html)
- check font size and type
- preferably use vector graphics such as svg, pdf or eps
- avoid bitmap graphics if possible and especially jpg!
- For LaTeX
- recommended approach: save as pdf, use pdfcrop
- epstopdf - usually installed with LaTeX
- pdfcrop - usually installed with LaTeX
- for direct inclusion in LaTeX use the scripts linked above to create PGF/TikZ files
