  13. Howdy,
  14.  
  15. I seek expert advice.
  16.  
  17. I'm trying to determine the geometric coordinates of curves 
  18. drawn on several pieces of graph paper relative to a fixed 
  19. reference frame.
  20.  
  21. Since I need thousands of coordinate points, I think that the 
  22. best way would be to trace the curves on a digitizing tablet, 
  23. and use a graphics software to capture the coordinates.
  24.  
  25. Since the task is simple, I would prefer not to use a very
  26. fancy CAD package.
  27.  
  28. Could someone please recommend a good software and tablet 
  29. combination for p.c.'s and/or SUN workstations to do this?
  30.  
  31. I would greatly appreciate any information.
  32.  
  33.  
  34. Thanks,
  35.  
  36. keyvan
