Recovering numeric data from an image of a graph
Sometimes all you have is an image file (perhaps from a scanned publication) and you would like to convert the data points to xy coordinates (maybe you want to try an analysis on someone else's data). R gives some tools to help. Here is the start of some code:renfreeshawlab.science.unimelb.edu.au/2020/07/04/recovering-numeric-data-from-an-image-of-a-graph

Organising data in Excel for analysis
From time to time I get asked to help with a statistical analysis. When I ask for the data I often get a spreadsheet like this. OK, I can read this and sometimes make sense of it, but there are a number of important issues including: With a little bit of learning, this can all […]renfreeshawlab.science.unimelb.edu.au/2018/09/04/organising-data-in-excel-for-analysis

Prettier graphs using Excel
Excel excels at ugly graphs, However it can produce nice graphs if you know how. It takes a little thought, and a little effort to transform the default graphs, setting sizes, spacing, colours, fonts, formats, but once you are familiar, it takes little time, and once you have a nice format you can even re-use the graph format in different projects - all you need to do is point it to different data sets.renfreeshawlab.science.unimelb.edu.au/2017/03/01/prettier-graphs-using-excel

Colourblindness and graphics
About one in ten males (including myself) have some degree of red-green colour blindness (and 0.5% of females), so you should bear that in mind when you are making graphics to display to others. Here are some suggestions for making colour-blindness friendly graphics.renfreeshawlab.science.unimelb.edu.au/2016/10/10/colourblindness-and-graphics

Loading sets of images into powerpoint slides
Sometimes one may want to generate a PowerPoint slide with a set of images - for example a set of micrograph images to discuss with your colleagues (or a lovely set of your holiday photos to make your friends jealous). You can do this by manually adding each image, one by one, then resizing, repositioning, formatting .... , but there is a much quicker way. Here is a guide to automating the process.renfreeshawlab.science.unimelb.edu.au/2016/10/08/loading-sets-of-images-into-powerpoint-slides

Fluorescence Images: Merging and optimising
If you are using fluorescence microscopy you may need to merge images taken with different filter sets - for example DAPI to pick out nuclei together with fluorescent staining with or or more specific antibodies. Commonly you will want to merge these images into a composite. Image optimisation and merging can be achieved easily using the free Fiji package with ImageJ.renfreeshawlab.science.unimelb.edu.au/2016/08/20/fluorescence-images-merging-and-optimising-2
