  <summary>Convert an image file showing a graph or map into numbers</summary>
  <description>
    <p>
    Engauge 9 is rewritten with Qt5.
    This digitizing software converts an image file
    showing a graph or map, into numbers.
    The image file can come from a scanner, digital camera
    or screen-shot. The numbers can be read on the screen,
    and written or copied to a spreadsheet.
    The process starts with an image file containing a graph or map.
    The final result is digitized data that can be used by other tools
    such as Gnumeric.

    <p>
    New features already added to Engauge:
    </p>
    <p>
     - Fix loading of versions 6 and 7 DIG files with log coordinates
     - Undo/redo of all operations means recovering from mistakes and experimenting
       with options is painless
     - Wizard provides an interactive tutorial to explain the basic steps
     - Wizard creates a checklist guide to interactively leads user through steps
       from file import to file export
     - Cubic spline interpolation between points gives more accurate curves with
       fewer points
     - Axes Checker briefly highlights the axes when they are defined or modified,
       to reveal entry mistakes
     - Graph coordinates can be specified as date and time value, or as degrees,
       minutes and seconds
     - All settings dialogs are resizable so they can be enlarged as necessary to
       display more information
     - Import by drag-and-drop
     - Replacement of Qt3 (which is at its end of life) by Qt5
     - Much better zooming, with a fill mode that automatically zooms in on image
       features, and rezooms when the application window is resized
     - Color picking straight from the original image
     - Uploadable error report generated when a programming error is encountered,
       for identifying problems and improving user support
     - Test suite for regression testing minimizes code breakage
       as new features are added
     - Multiple coordinate systems in the same image can be digitized in advanced mode
     - Axes with only one known coordinate (floating axes) can be digitized in advanced mode
     - File import by pasting
