Taking a derivative of the logarithmic form gives a direct way to use the plot's base-ten vertical axis:Alternatively, use two nearby readings and eliminate the unknown :Reading the original PDF graph approximately gives at and at . These bracket the requested temperature and give an average latent heat near :Thus a suitable graph-based estimate isThe graph does not warrant several significant figures; a local tangent or different reasonable nearby readings give a comparable estimate. The factor is essential when using a base-ten logarithmic axis.
