In this newsletter, we would like to announce that Thinkable will shortly release a new version of TactileView, the most powerful tactile graphics editor available on the market. In this version, the emphasis lays on new convenient tools that will help you with accurate alignment of texts and objects in your design. With these, getting the right page layout has never been easier.
Introducing the braille grid and measurements grid
In the upcoming version of the TactileView software, the new braille grid and revised measurements grid will be introduced. These are great tools that help you to manage the layout of your design by easily aligning and placing text labels and graphic elements.
The braille grid is primarily used to align text labels in a regular grid and conform to certain layout guidelines, whereas the measurements grid is mostly used to align objects and visualize their size.
Using these grids, you can easily:
- Manage the size of inserted objects (measurements grid)
- Control distances between elements (measurements grid)
- Place text labels in a regular grid or on the same row/column (braille grid)
- Align objects with text labels (subsequently using both alignment grids)
