PED Editor


Download PED Editor  

The PED (Phase Equilibria Diagrams) Editor was created by Eric Boesch for use by the PED Data Center (NIST Standard Reference Database 31) to digitize various types of phase equilibria diagrams for addition to this series as graphics files. Binary, ternary, and schematic diagrams can be digitized, and data can be extracted. The PED Editor can also be used for general graph digitization and two-dimensional scientific drawing.

A Getting Started User Manual can be downloaded here.
