Re: [Inkscape-user] Extracting formulas from curves?

Rob,

Thanks for note - I will check them out but I thought it should be possible to use the information in the .svg file - as long as the curve is a fn, then the formula should be able to be determined . .

Regards,

Phil.

I believe what you are looking for is either called "curve fitting" or "regression analysis" software.

You would just need to render the svg to a series of X/Y points and run them through this type of software to get a best fit equation (depending on the curve family chosen, of course)
