<p class="MsoNormal" style="word-break:normal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;line-height:115%;color:#1F497D">I used your example and found a few problems, some of which I have an answer for and some I don’t.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="word-break:normal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;line-height:115%;color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="word-break:normal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;line-height:115%;color:#1F497D">First, the braille font isn’t friendly with the pdf creation inside R. This means we will need to use an alternative format for distribution. I suggest
using SVG.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="word-break:normal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;line-height:115%;color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="word-break:normal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;line-height:115%;color:#1F497D">Second, the braille I got when I embossed the example image was quite small. Too small for regular users and I only managed to assess that the braille
was correct because I knew what to expect. This might be resolved with the use of a better font than the one used in the example, but it will be better to hard code the font size to be what is desired. (I’m looking into that.)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="word-break:normal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;line-height:115%;color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="word-break:normal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;line-height:115%;color:#1F497D">Finally, we will probably want to rotate the braille so that it is all embossed horizontally. The y-axis tick marks are 90 degrees out at present. This
is achievable using standard R graphics commands for any print.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="word-break:normal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;line-height:115%;color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="word-break:normal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;line-height:115%;color:#1F497D">As an aside, I also have the problem of no y-axis label being printed so the image is not fitting properly on the paper I am using. Some work to do
at my end I expect, but I am confident that my embosser is using default settings so perhaps anyone else using a Premiere 100 would have the same problems.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
