[accessibleimage] Re: tactile graphic for the Index-s

Hi Martin,
I've had a look at WinBraille 4 and I think if you find a very simple
black and white .bmp line drawing you will be able to get a quick idea of
how it works. All you need to do is insert (menu) the .bmp in the
non-translated file. Translate and then emboss.  The editor for WinBraille
is for color pictures (turns it to a black and white line drawing) and for
creating new drawings. You can also use QikTac files, but then when
inserting them the program will convert them to .bmp.
You can also place the .bmp in a Word document and just open the Word
document when you are in WinBraille.
You can make a simple black and white drawing in Paint making sure the
lines are thick enough. I think otherwise if not thick enough it might not
pick it up.
Best and good luck,
Lisa
