Description: # Disclaimer
        
        Pattern here are of pre-alpha quality - not tested, never used on actual laser cutter, not validated in actual use, examples are missing, usage instruction is missing, tested only in LightBurn etc etc.
        
        All of that will change.
        
        # Tactile patterns for laser cutter
        
        Generates patterns recognisable by touch, for use in laser-cut materials.
        
        Used for example on maps for blind people.
        
        Available as tactile_patterns pip package.
        
        If you would use it but "pip package" is too scary - please open an issue to let me know how it can be also published in way that makes it useful.

        The [OpenStreetMap foundation](https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Main_Page) was funding the development of this project in their first round of the [microgrant program](https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Microgrants) in 2020. It was done as part of making [tactile maps based on OpenStreetMap data, for blind or visually impaired children](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Microgrants/Microgrants_2020/Proposal/Tactile_maps_for_blind_or_visually_impaired_children).
        
        If anyone else is also interested in supporting this project via funding - [let me know](mailto:osm-messages@etutanota.com) (opening a new issue is also OK) :)
