BrailleR (version 1.0.2)

BRLThis: Convert a graph to a pdf ready for embossing

Description

The first argument to this function must be a call to create a graph, such as a histogram. Instead of opening a new graphics device, the graph will be created in a pdf file, with all text being presented using a braille font. The function is somewhat experimental as the best braille font is not yet confirmed, and a number of examples need to be tested on a variety of embossers before full confidence in the function is given.

Usage

BRLThis(x, file)

Value

Nothing within the R session, but a pdf file will be created in the user's working directory.

Arguments

x

the call to create a graph

A character string giving the filename where the image is to be saved.
