Editable graphs, tables and figures

Post by Ranalli13 »

I'm trying to find if its possible to insert editable graphs, tables or figures in latex but i can't find anything.
When i say editable, i mean that after converting the file to pdf, the data in a table, graph or figure can be selected and copied, not all the information, but for example a specific number.

Is there anyone that can explain if this is possible in latex?

I will be grateful for the help.

Sure, LaTeX creates a PDF file with the text.

In a PDF viewer, you can select and copy text from the PDF to paste it to somewhere else. That's a PDF viewer program feature.
