Why Starry?

StarryDigitizer was originally developed as part of the web system of Starrydata project, which is aimed at building an open database of inorganic materials science experimental data, with the motivation to streamline the process of extracting graph data and to obtain the most suitable data format for handling in the Starrydata system.

Our goal is not only to benefit Starrydata but also to develop a valuable tool for anyone involved in collecting graph data.

Why We Developed Our Own Plot Digitizer Tool

Previously, Starrydata's data collection process involved extracting data points using the WebPlotDigitizer and collecting only the XY coordinates in Starrydata. However, this method had the following issues:

To address these problems, we are developing our own Digitizer tool.

Development information

Vue 3 + TypeScript + Vite

This template should help get you started developing with Vue 3 and TypeScript in Vite. The template uses Vue 3 <script setup> SFCs, check out the script setup docs to learn more.

Recommended IDE Setup

Type Support For .vue Imports in TS

TypeScript cannot handle type information for .vue imports by default, so we replace the tsc CLI with vue-tsc for type checking. In editors, we need TypeScript Vue Plugin (Volar) to make the TypeScript language service aware of .vue types.

If the standalone TypeScript plugin doesn't feel fast enough to you, Volar has also implemented a Take Over Mode that is more performant. You can enable it by the following steps:

  1. Disable the built-in TypeScript Extension
    1. Run Extensions: Show Built-in Extensions from VSCode's command palette
    2. Find TypeScript and JavaScript Language Features, right click and select Disable (Workspace)
  2. Reload the VSCode window by running Developer: Reload Window from the command palette.
