Thank you for sharing. I like the way you described the plot in your prompt. It played a significant role in getting such a good prediction. So the basic rule here is to try to provide as much as we observe to the model.

Thank you so much for your time and effort, but sadly, it does not solve the problem. I will look into it deeper and tell you if I manage to solve it.

Again, thank you.

Charlie-san,

I'm sorry I've not built an abnormal route in my tool. I don't know if the following is the problem you're facing, but an endless loop may occur when locator2coordinate function does not have unique solution from given two red points.

You may avoid the loop by changing the function to the following. Please change the location of two red points and try again.

locator2coordinate[list_, sample_] := 
 Module[{l1x, l1y, l2x, l2y, s1x, s1y, s2x, s2y, d, c, ysolve, xlist, 
   ylist},
  {l1x, l1y} = list[[1]]; {l2x, l2y} = list[[2]];
  If[l1x === l2x || l1y === l2y, Beep[]; Return[{}]];
  {s1x, s1y} = sample[[1]]; {s2x, s2y} = sample[[2]];
  ysolve = Solve[d*l1y + c == s1y && d*l2y + c == s2y, {d, c}];
  {{d, c}} = {d, c} /. ysolve;
  ({Exp[(#[[1]] - l1x)/(l2x - l1x)*(Log[s2x] - Log[s1x]) + Log[s1x]], 
       d*#[[2]] + c} & /@ list) // Sort
  ]

Dear Kotaro-san

Sorry to bother you, but I have another question. How can the GetList function be modified so that coordinate1 and coordinate2 will directly use the raw coordinates of the two points?

For example, after moving the two points, the two points would give values of {12,34} and {56,78}, while coordinate1 and coordinate2 also give values of {12,34} and {56,78} respectively.

I've been able to achieve this to some degree, but it results in a endless loop that crashes Mathematica when I press "calculate". Is there any way to fix this?

Thank you so much for your time.

Charlie-san,

Thanks for your comment. To work for graphs that have a logarithmic scaling on the x-axis, change the locator2coordinate function below.

locator2coordinate[list_, sample_] := 
 Module[{l1x, l1y, l2x, l2y, s1x, s1y, s2x, s2y, d, c, ysolve, xlist, 
   ylist},
  {l1x, l1y} = list[[1]]; {l2x, l2y} = list[[2]];
  {s1x, s1y} = sample[[1]]; {s2x, s2y} = sample[[2]];
  ysolve = Solve[d*l1y + c == s1y && d*l2y + c == s2y, {d, c}];
  {{d, c}} = {d, c} /. ysolve;
  ({Exp[(#[[1]] - l1x)/(l2x - l1x)*(Log[s2x] - Log[s1x]) + Log[s1x]], 
       d*#[[2]] + c} & /@ list) // Sort
  ]

This is my result of your example.

Kotaro-san,

Thank you so much for this method of converting graph images into lists. I have just one question that I wish to ask: how can the locator2coordinate function be modified so that the method would work for graphs that have a logarithmic scaling on the x-axis? I'm really interested in exploring this method of yours further!

Example: logarithmic graph
