Well, this might be a bit ambitious, Andreas, but... There are times
when we as blind people need to make pictorial representations &
charts. I'd like to see a system like turtle graphics implemented in
sodbeans (did u ever play w/that?) &, in addition, I'd like to get
audio feedback of what I'm drawing--thus, if I draw a diagonal line
from the lower left to the upper right of the screen, the sound would
start out low in my left ear, then increase in pitch & pan toward the
right till it reached its destination. Logo also has a "label"
command, whereby u could write text at a given point. It might not
make visual representations accessible to us, but it would allow us to
communicate w/our sighted colleagues in that way.

Sorry if this wasn't exactly what you're lookin for.

Blame the computer--why not? It can't defend itself & occasionally
