Summary

Dexter is a little java applet that is used by the ADS (http://adswww.harvard.edu) to let users extract data from figures on scanned images. As such, it is rather tightly bound to the ADS through the AppletImageGetter and AppletDataDeliverer classes.

However, by implementing different classes implementing the ImageGetter and DataDeliverer classes, standalone versions can be provided. The PlainImageGetter and PlainDataDeliverer classes show how one would go about doing that with a main program named Debuxter.
