Defining a Characteristic Curve in SheetScan

Once you have loaded a datasheet picture in the editor and have defined a coordinate system, you can define one or more characteristic curves as follows:

1. Choose Curve > New.

   The Curve Settings dialog box opens, containing the Axis and Representation tabs.

   

   

2. Use the fields on the Axis tab to define the curve's properties. Use the buttons on the Representation tab to change the curve's appearance.
3. Click OK.

   The cursor changes to a crosshair.

4. Click the points of the characteristic which you want to capture for the dataset. The points are connected automatically.
5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 for each additional characteristic curve you wish to define.

After characteristic curves have been defined, you can perform various operations on them. See: Performing Operations on SheetScan Curves.
