If you have a ViewPlus Tiger embosser, the graphs output by R emboss perfectly, though the legends do not emboss as braille. Jonathan is trying to persuade the R people to permit fonts to be changed, in which case, one could change them and emboss that text as either computer braille or DotsPlus braille.
