-Next you'll find that you'll want to start working on automation and digitizing the shots instead of just staring at them and drawing them out on paper etc.  For basic usage check out [[tutorial:digitizing_with_inkscape|digitizing with inkscape]] and for more automated analysis check out [[http://www.degate.org/|Degate]].+Next you'll find that you'll want to start working on automation and digitizing the shots instead of just staring at them and drawing them out on paper etc.  For basic usage check out [[tutorial:digitizing_with_inkscape|digitizing with inkscape]] and for more automated analysis check out [[http://www.siliconpr0n.org/wiki/doku.php?id=capture/#degate|Degate]].
