+Engauge digitizing software converts an image file showing a graph or map,
+into numbers. The image file can come from a scanner, digital camera or
+screenshot. The numbers can be read on the screen, and written or copied
+to a spreadsheet. Engauge Digitizer compensates for rotation, scaling
+and skew (also known as shearing) in graphs. Engauge recognizes BMP, GIF,
+JPG, PNG, PNM, and XPM bitmaps.
+
+This requires fftw (and qt3 from the /extra/kde3-compat/ packages).
