As a low-vision person myself, I understand the need for such applications. The last time I did anything like this for other visually-impaired students, I used foam pads and a mixture of sand and glue to teach students the shape of the letters of the alphabet by tracing their fingers along the rough parts of the foam pad. Luckily, the alphabet doesn't change, so I can just have a single set of them. But for mathematical formulas, you would certainly need something dynamic to help with exploration of the many kinds of mathematical formulas.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><span lang=EN-US>The basic idea here would be a program that would have a some plotted curve (fetched from the object returned by the call to `plt.plot()`), and a callback function attached to the 'button_press' event (assuming that is what a touchscreen reports screen touches as). In the callback function, you would have the x/y coordinates of the press event, and you would have the curve as a stored object (either as a global or some such). You would then calculate the distance between the x/y of the event, and the curve, and then activate a tone (I would assume python has some sort of sound-playing package somewhere). You can then deactivate the tone on the 'button_release' event (a second callback). There is also a 'mouse_move' event, if I remember correctly, so you can update the tone as the finger drags along the screen.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><span lang=EN-US>Let me know if you have more questions!<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Cheers!<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><span lang=EN-US>Ben Root<o:p></o:p></span></p><div><div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div></div></div></div></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>On Wed, Sep 27, 2017 at 1:11 AM, Thomas Caswell <<a href="mailto:tcaswell@gmail.com" target="_blank">tcaswell@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<o:p></o:p></span></p><blockquote style='border:none;border-left:solid #CCCCCC 1.0pt;padding:0mm 0mm 0mm 6.0pt;margin-left:4.8pt;margin-right:0mm'><div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Ben Root wrote a book on interactive figures <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Interactive-Applications-using-Matplotlib-Benjamin/dp/1783988843" target="_blank">https://www.amazon.com/Interactive-Applications-using-Matplotlib-Benjamin/dp/1783988843</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Also see the 03 tutorial on picking in <a href="https://github.com/tacaswell/interactive_mpl_tutorial" target="_blank">https://github.com/tacaswell/interactive_mpl_tutorial</a><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Tom<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>On Tue, Sep 26, 2017 at 2:16 PM Jody Klymak <<a href="mailto:jklymak@uvic.ca" target="_blank">jklymak@uvic.ca</a>> wrote:<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><blockquote style='border:none;border-left:solid #CCCCCC 1.0pt;padding:0mm 0mm 0mm 6.0pt;margin-left:4.8pt;margin-right:0mm'><div><div><div><p><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>Sure you can do this, plus or minus the Windows 10 interaction which I know nothing about.
