[accessibleimage] drawing technique/method

Hi,
Following is a drawing method for visually impaired using Wikkistix, SVG (scalable vector graphics), scanners and a bit more. This is an idea so would like any comments on it.
The idea is to draw a picture with Wikkistix on an pre-embossed graph paper, or on plain paper
That is, starting out with a picture that can be felt before converting to a digital picture file.
The resulting digital picture file can be different types and produced in different ways.
Method
1. draw a picture on a piece of paper with WikkiStix. Draw on either pre-embossed graph paper or plain paper.
2. The picture is either scanned or
3. the coordinates of the picture are entered as text and saved as SVG. by using a text editor, eg notepad etc.

The scanned picture can be printed out and embossed with swell paper.
The SVG picture could be embossed out as is with say a Tiger. As a SVG image one can do a whole lot more with the picture.

Since the Wikkistix picture would be very clear, would think a R2V program, program that would take a raster files from the scanned picture and converts to a vector file like SVG, would work pretty good and one would end up with a SVG thereby jumping over entering (x.y) coordinates.

Any tactile picture could use this method. One doesn't have to use wikkistix. Just as long as it would fit into a scanner.
Using the graph paper one is independent of a scanner, by making a SVG .

This is an idea would like to get any feedback as to holes in logic.

Regards,
Lisa
