Ah, thank you. I thought as I sent my mail that I should have specify which
John I was talking to, but your description is what I wanted to know. (Say
"John" on this list and you'll get lots of help...*smile*)
Happy computing.

Well today's TSS will translate the text on a graphic if it is really text.
If the text is bit-mapped, then TSS cannot interpret it. Should be the same
for BrailleBlaster. The major problem today is that there is often just not
enough room for the Braille. I would hope that BrailleBlaster could include
a user option to enlarge graphics to the maximum extent allowed by the
paper/margins. Braille will fit better if the graphic is big.

One thing I wonder about is the difficulty in supplying braille labels for
parts of a graphic that have corresponding print labels. For example, if
there is a line drawing of a radio or other device, the labels would be very
helpful, and leaving them out would make the description a bit harder to
follow.
I have only seen small examples of the Tiger embosser output and don't know
how it handles such things, if at all.
John, perhaps you can clarify.

Such a library would be passed a string containing MathML and would
useSWT to produce the math in the conventional form. This means that
much of i would be graphical. BrailleBlaster would place the braille
translation below this image on the screen. This library is the next big
peice we need for the editor. Of course, we will not be editing the
displayed image, just showing it.
