[Blindmath] Version 0.0.7 of SVGDraw01 is now available for download

[Richard Baldwin]

Version 0.0.7  of my drawing program for blind students is now posted at:
http://www.austincc.edu/baldwin/SWT-SVG/SVGDraw01.zip and available for
immediate download.

This version contains the following new features:

1. The ability to rotate individual shapes or groups of shapes by angles in
degrees around a specified center of rotation.

2. The ability to translate individual shapes or groups of shapes by
different distances in the horizontal and vertical directions.

3. The ability to scale individual shapes or groups of shapes to make them
larger or smaller.

In addition, several improvements in human factors and accessibility were
made.

You must have the 32-bit Windows version of the Java JRE installed on your
computer to run this program. I am told that the 32-bit and the 64-bit
versions of Java can be installed and will peacefully coexist on Windows
Vista and Windows 7 in case you also need the 64-bit version for other
programs.

The procedure for getting started using the program is as follows:

First download the zip file from the web address given above.

Extract the following three files from the zip file into the same empty
folder.
_ReadMeFirst.txt
Instructions.htm
SVGDraw01.jar

The file named SVGDraw01.jar is an executable jar file. You can run it the
same way that you run other programs.

If all else fails, open a command window in the folder containing the jar
file and enter the following command at the prompt:

java -jar SVGdraw01.jar

When the program starts, you will land in a Combo List Box with the
following selection showing:
"User instructions"

Press the enter key and tab down to the button labeled:
"Press this button to open instructions in a browser"

When you press the button, you should land in a browser window containing an
html document with detailed usage instructions for the program.

Alternatively, you can simply open the file named Instructions.htm in your
browser and read it without running the program.

As usual, feedback will be appreciated.
