This package provides a backend for Diagrams to render tactile Braille graphics. Additionally, a small frontend command-line program called brldia is provided which allows to create diagrams from a number of primitive functions and optional arguments. It basically exports a minimal version of diagrams-lib to the command-line. See brldia --help for details.

Usage

brldia circle 1

⢠⠖⠋⠉⠉⠙⠲⡄
⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹
⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸
⠘⠦⣄⣀⣀⣠⠴⠃

You can also combine various shapes into a single diagram:

brldia --width=32 circle 1 square 1.4
