[nfbcs] accessible application project software

[Greg Kearney]

Diagrams present a real challenge to blind computer users. You will need to have a very clear idea in your head as to what you want them to look like. The two approaches I give below will work but require and extensive learning curve to master:

1. the LaTeX and TeX typesetting systems also support generation of graphics. Because this system is all text based it is possible for a blind user to generate graphics in TeX. Learning TeX however is no small matter, the rewards for doing so are great however particularly for blind users as it will render visually perfect results every time.

2. It is, in theory at least, possible to write a SVG graphic in a text editor. Again you would need a very complete background in SVG to do this.

Could we get some samples of the kind of graphics you need to generate?
