About Didger 4

There has never been a more comprehensive, powerful, all-inone software solution that provides an easy-to-use and intuitive user interface for digitizing, geographic referencing, reprojection, tiling, and mosaicking. Use Didger to precisely convert paper maps, graphs, aerial photographs, or any other plotted information into a versatile digital format. Didger can create new maps from the ground up or edit any imported map, drawing, image, or data set for quick map or data overlays, data viewing, and projection conversions!

Didger makes it easy to quickly extract the data you need from images. Import an image, such as a USGS Digital Raster Graphic, and Didger can automatically pick out and digitize the contour lines in seconds (digitized in yellow above). Assign elevations to the contours and with just a few clicks import the contour data directly into Surfer® as a colorful and customizable contour map, ready to overlay or combine with other data.

Georeference images in Didger and digitize information directly on the image. Change the projection of the entire project and add graticule lines to ensure your data set is presented at its best. Digitized data can be exported to all industry standard vector files such as SHP, MIF and DXF

Digitize any map, graph, aerial photo, site map, or printed image regardless of size using any Wintab compatible tablet, or scan it in and digitize it onscreen! For example, import and calibrate a scanned image of a well log and digitize the log information, including any wrapped portions of the log! Easily export the digitized data to an LAS file.

Mosaic multiple large USGS Digital Ortho Quarter Quads (DOQQs) and overlay them with other imported information, such as hydrography (blue) and road (orange) data. Reproject files on import so all your data is in one cohesive coordinate system.
