Description

Drawing Diff is a tool for comparing black and white images (not greyscale). The intended purpose is to compare engineering drawings after a revision or during the drawing creation process to compare incremental changes to the drawing after a drawing has been changed.

The input to Drawing Diff is an old version of the drawing or image and a new version of the drawing or image. The input formate can be a raster image format (TIF, PNG etc.) or a PDF file. PDF files can be multiple pages.

The differences in the two documents are displayed using colors to indicate the areas of the image that have changed. By default old markings are colored blue, new markings are colored red and markings common to both images are black. The additional feature to aid in comparing the images is a highlight feature that will highlight the areas in which changes have occurred.

Drawng Diff is a free open source program released under the GNU General Public License (GPLv3).
