| Format | Purpose | Editable in GraphX? | Source image | Numerical data |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Browser-supported image | Source graph | As a new workspace | Is the source | Not yet digitised |
.graphx | Editable GraphX project | Yes | Embedded | Yes |
| CSV | Tabular export | No | No | Yes |
| Clipboard TSV | Quick active-dataset paste | No | No | Yes |
| Digitisation report | No | Report figure | Yes, formatted tables | |
| JPEG | Annotated raster image | No | Base image | Visual markers only |
GraphX's image picker accepts the browser image/* family. JPEG, PNG, WebP and GIF are common examples, but actual decoding support is provided by the browser. For a predictable graph source, use a clear static image; animated-image behaviour is not a project feature to rely on.
.graphx is GraphX's self-contained editable project format. It stores the source image and saved GraphX project information so work can be restored later. It is a versioned JSON-based file, and GraphX validates its structure, image data, calibration references, datasets, and identifiers before restoring it. It is intended for Saving and opening projects, not general data interchange.
CSV, clipboard TSV, PDF, and JPEG are described in Export overview, CSV and copied data, PDF reports, and JPEG export.
