Does anyone know of a software package (Windows based preferably) that can that
a graphic file that represents 3-D on a 2-D image (color coded contour for
example) and generate a 2-D, graph of that data a certain point.   This would
involve drawing a line across the picture and the program generating an x vs. y
graph for the data points on that line.  If I could find a program that could
convert a color-coded .tiff into x,y,z coordinates, I could import the data to
Excel and accomplish the same thing.  What is desired is to generate x vs. y.
graphs from a "3-D" picture (represented as a color coded .tiff image) by
selecting different segments of the .tiff image.

Thanks in advance,
