Romo) Newsgroups: comp.sys.mac Subject: Thunderscan Question Message-ID: <479UD069225@NDSUVM1> Date: 9 Dec 87 18:14:18 GMT Organization: North Dakota Higher Education Computer Network, Fargo, ND Lines: 24 DISCLAIMER: Author bears full responsibility for contents of this article. I'd like to know how to get a digitized form of a graph that has only a few lines shown in MacDraw format without making it huge(<100K, at most). For the sake of discussion, let me describe it as a simple graph of a quadratic equation with both axis shown and a simple legend included as well, get the picture? Lotsa white space and only a little dark space(lines, axis, legend(text)). I would hope there's a way of getting this done with only the dark space "selected" as the MacDraw-type objects. Is there any way of getting this done? say by setting the detection level(intensity?) of Thunderscan, if not a simpler way? Obviously I'm not well-versed in 'scanners' lingo, therefore could you give this 'greenhorn' a detailed-lesson-for-the-tenderfoot in this use of Thunderscan? Your prompt e-mail replies can be sent to me and I will summarize in another follow-up article to this group. Your time and effort are graciously acknowledged in advance(Thanks a bunch.) ------- ERIC H. ROMOCHEMISTRY DEPT. UNIV. OF NORTH DAKOTA GRAND FORKS, N.D.
