[BRLTTY] Handling data flow diagrams and system flow charts

[J. R. Westmoreland]

It would be great if it worked but I wouldn't hold out a lot of hope. You
almost need a way to print htem on paper to really get the layout. I took a
transcribers course on producing graphics a number of years ago but don't
recall all the details. I know that my embosser will do graphics if you send
them correctly to the device. I also know that the Tiger embosser can take
graphics straight from windows and print them. It acts like a rastar windows
printer.
Unfortunately, the printer/embosser is very expensive around $10,000 for the
good one.

Do you think maxima could be used for network diagrams?

Yes. Braille is also another option, which I used for ascii graphs in high
school from maxima. 

Anything more complex I'm not sure how useful that approach is. 

The other issue is getting drawings into ascii in the first place...

What is R?

Well I used maxima which used gnuplot to develop graphs. So that worked
pretty well because I could get an idea of the graph with the Braille
display. 

I think gnuplot is more designed for drawing graphs and functions rather
than rawing project management diagrams. Some please correct me if I'm wrong
though. 

Cheers,
Dan
