Reply To: A zigzag line that appears ona vertical/horizontal axis line

Hi Elizabeth, thanks for writing and supplying an example for viewing. First of all, since the image does not contain a zig-zag pattern, it should not be included in the braille edition. However, a transcriber’s note placed before the graphic can address your plans of editing the print content. With this in mind, your need of retaining the 18 lines of the Y-axis can be achieved by omitting every other line of this axis. Thus, only 10 lines can be used for reproducing the vertical axis. This leaves plenty of room for the x-axis lines and labels in their entirety. This guidance can be verified by referencing [G&S 6.6.1.3].

Hope this helps.
