Liblouis Text Translation

[TTWNO]

Hey there! Never thought I'd come across something so related to what I'm doing.

I'm attempting to create a generic R graph, with all text replaced with Unicode Braille characters + the UBraille (public domain) font to allow printing of "most" R outputs with braille text. The print would ultimately be printed on PIAF/Microcapsule paper.

I did a similar thing with a project a few months ago, here: https://git.tait.tech/tait/transcription-tools/src/branch/main/ocr/braille-diagram-tools

Just wondering if there is an easy way, or if your library would be interested in implementing a way to replace all text in an R plot/graph with modified text. Some kind of map_all_text((text) => new_text) function would work perfectly. Figuring out liblouis bindings through some other language would probably be best for a smaller project (like mine).

Anyway, I'm just wondering if this is something you have considered, if this is out of scope for the project, or if perhaps there is already a way to simply do that which I'm unaware of.

Thanks for you time! Keep up the great work!

Hi, BrailleR already has a very limited attempt at using a braille font. The biggest problems are the font sizes used in various aspects of plots, and the changes that are done on the fly when text is added of differing lengths. The idea started with BRLThis() in the package. Happy to see improvements suggested.
