[accessibleimage] Accessible graphics programming using Logo and The vOICe

Hi All,

Some of you may be interested in tools for programming graphics
content. One way of working is to use so-called "turtle graphics"
programming in the Logo language. There is a nice free interpreter
for this language named MSWLogo. It allows you to program line
drawings, define shapes, and even create 3D graphics. Moreover,
it also can generate animated GIF images of the drawing stages.
Such GIF animations can be imported into The vOICe via Control O.
There is now a new draft web page describing this approach to
accessible graphics creation, at the URL

   http://www.seeingwithsound.com/turtle_graphics.htm

It contains an example of drawing a filled square in 2D and a
cube in 3D. In the final animated GIF image results you will
hear the sides of the square and cube appear in subsequent
soundscapes. Of course it takes some effort to first master the
Logo programming language. For an introduction to Logo you can
read the Wikipedia web page at the URL

Best regards,

Peter Meijer
