How to generate "data files" from the chart images in .png format ?

[rohityadav9011]

Hi Jason,

I'm quite new to these stuff, I was just hoping if you could explain the process for conversion of the charts in .png format that i have to the data files which can be further utilize to get results from your pre-trained model. Can you please simplify the process in steps that would be really helpful for people like me.

Hi Rohit,

You would need some tool that could parse the .png into a data file like a .csv or excel file. (maybe https://github.com/Cvrane/ChartReader? or https://plotdigitizer.com/ )

Then using that parsed dataset you could follow the steps outlined in the readme (the steps Preprocessing, Generation, and Postprocessing after generation) or you can see more details in the previous issue here: https://github.com/JasonObeid/Chart2Text/issues/14
