[BlindMath] embossing graphs from TI-80 and Desmos

Thu Oct 4 18:29:28 UTC 2018

I may be incorrect but, 

I believe you can use the TactileView Designer Software 

https://thinkable.nl/tactileview-drawing-software/

And then send it out to an embosser or even insert the graphic into your DBT
document.

>From the online TactileView manual:

https://thinkable.nl/tv-manual-import-image-from-file/

Pasted in part of manual after my signature.

Hope this helps!

4.04 Importing images from file (.svg, .png, .jpg, .)

Saved images can be used as a basis for your tactile designs. These can be
bitmap images (.bmp, .png, .jpg, etc.) or SVG images. There are two ways to
insert these files into your design.

Import image from file

To import a bitmap or SVG image file, select 'Import' from the drawing tools
toolbar, then choose 'Import SVG' or 'Import image from file' from the
context toolbar. A dialog will open in which you can browse and select the
image file that you wish to use. Select 'image files' or 'svg files' as the
type of file to limit the presented files to images suitable for importing.
Once you have selected the correct image, click 'Open' to insert the image
into your design. Next, click in the design to position the image.

'Import' icon: Import icon
'Import SVG' icon: Import SVG icon
'Import image from file' icon: Import image from file icon

Copy from Windows File Explorer
In Windows File Explorer, select the image file that you wish to insert in
your design. Right click on the file and select 'Copy', or use the shortcut
Ctrl+C. In TactileView, position the mouse where you want to insert the file
and press Ctrl+V to paste the image. Alternatively, you can also select
'Paste' from the Edit menu, the top horizontal toolbar or by opening the
context menu by right clicking in the design and selecting 'Paste'.

Subject: [BlindMath] embossing graphs from TI-80 and Desmos

Hi all! Happy Fall!

I am looking for any advice... my student is using the Orion TI-80 talking

graphing calculator and the online Desmos graphing calculator. We really

would like these graphs to emboss. We have a Juliet and we have a Blazer

(the really old one). I understand from Freedom Scientific that both of

these embossers need braille software to input the information and will not

emboss a .png like the Tiger does. The problem is, both Desmos and the

graphing calculator appear to produce .png files. Does anyone have

experience with this and did you find a work around?

Many thanks!

Sally
