[BlindRUG] Is there any way to use LibLouis in R?

[JooYoung Seo]

Thanks for your reply Dr. Godfrey,

  I am still wondering why it would be hard to embed Nemeth code in R
graphics using LibLouis. Would you mind explaining more?

  And, I would like to go with grade2 at this point instead, could you
please give me some ideas?

  Many thanks in advance.

 Sincerely,

 

       JY

Hello

 

I'm sure the use of grade 2 braille is possible but I would have my doubts
about any math code being handled without some serious work to work out
which representation of math would be used as the medium for transfer. R
doesn't handle latex for example all that well.

 

So, for regular text I would say yes, but for anything heading towards
symbols etc. I suspect the answer is no.

 

If anyone wanted to have a go, I'd offer ideas but I suspect I'll have
little to offer.

 

Jonathan

Hi there,

 Changing regular print font into braille font does not always give
satisfying results: you cannot use grade 2 nor Nemeth braille.

  To make better graphic output in braille, I came to think of applying
LibLouis <http://liblouis.org/>  to R.

  Please share your thoughts about the possibility.

  Many thanks.
