[BlindMath] Biochemical Pathways

[Łukasz Grabowski]

Thanks Zach for those examples, before I can suggest anything
could you also say: 
1) What's your purpuse in preparing them - homework, publication?

2) Do you need to prepare them for sighted or blind people?

3) If for sighted people, is there a degree of freedom in how they are
presented? I.e. would it be ok if the diagram is correct and very
much understandable but presented not in the "visually most efficient
fashion"?

Basically the diagrams in your link are directed graph whose nodes and
arrows have labels  - there are software solutions which allow to
describe such a graph by a simple grammar (essentialy declaring nodes,
arrows between them and labels), and they can generate the corresponding
diagram. The only downside is that for complicated graphs it will not
always be the most "visually optimal" presentation.
