Brachiograph and Turtle

I am currently in the process of building a Brachiograph plotter. I am 75 years old and have a minor disability with my hands. I would like to find out if anybody can tell me how I can output Turtle Graphics to a file that can be read by the Brachiograph plotter. I believe that the linedraw.py converts a .svg to a .json file that is read by the Brachiograph. I would like to create some fractal image files and print them with the Brachiograph.
Thank you for any help that you can offer with this project.

Welcome to Stackoverflow. In your OP you state "I believe that the linedraw.py converts a .svg to a .json file[...]". Looking at the documentation it looks like linedraw.py will convert a bitmap to an svg file and a json file.
From the documentation:
The main use you will have for linedraw is to take a bitmap image file
as input, and save the vectorised version as:
an SVG file, to check it
a JSON file, to draw with the BrachioGraph.
The way I would approach this is to create an svg with Turtle and then in your Python script convert that to a png. Then linedraw.py can be used to convert that to your JSON BrachioGraph file. I found a solution to do that in another SO thread. The answer in that thread is using Cairosvg to convert the SVG to PNG format.

Rails convert binary string to .docx

I am working in rails and I downloaded a word document from OneDrive through graph API and it returns a binary string which is a collection of files. I need to convert this string into .docx file and if I save it in a simple way or I write as a binary file after decoding it using base64, it doesn't save in the right format, it looks some awkward content in the file.
Any help in this regard will be appreciated.
Thanks
Can you not just save the binary string to a file?
data = <binary string>
File.open('document.docx', 'wb') do |f|
f.write(data)
end
A docx file is actually a gzipped collection of files, with the file extension .docx substituted for .gz. There should be no conversion necessary, and there should be no encoding necessary in order to download it across the 'net.
You should be able to change the file extension to .gz and then unzip it using gunzip, with the result being a collection of xml files (text) and directories. If you can't do this, then you haven't correctly decoded it, so you should figure out what encoding you have requested, and reverse that, or better, don't request encoding at all.

ImageMagick: Convert selective images to Multipage PDF without using external text file?

Let's say I have a directory with 5 TIFF files in it and I want to convert some of them to a multipage PDF, but that there are other TIFS in the same directory that I do not want in the same PDF.
In other words, I want to convert file1.TIF, file2.TIF, file3.TIF --> foo.pdf, but I want to ignore file4.TIF and file5.TIF located in the same folder.
It would seem from the documentation that the only way to do this is to provide ImageMagick with a text file listing out the files and then point to it when calling the program, as in:
convert #FilesToConvert.txt C:\foo3.pdf
Is there no way to make the call inline though, so that I don't have to create a separate text file for each conversion?
Thanks in advance!
You should be able to use:
convert file1.TIF file2.TIF file3.TIF foo.pdf

how can I convert a file with .arff format to .txt file format?

How can I convert from .arff file to .txt file? I couldn't find any converter in the internet.
This format is basically just a text file[...]
Can't you just right click and open it with notepad ?
.arff or Attribute-Relation File Format (ARFF) files are ASCII text files so changing there extension to .txt file would work.
More Info
You can open with sublime editer

how to read data from dat file?

how to read data from .dat files ?
i just tried like this memo1.lines.loadfromfile('c:\myfile.dat'); but not worked
Note : File type is binary
can any one please help me :)
#radick to show the contents of an binary file in a memo control you must encode o convert the data to valid ASCII characters, to turn it all into text. because you can not load something that is not text into a text control.
you can find a very nice sample from Peter Below in this link.
read a binary file and display the byte values as ASCII?
(source: swissdelphicenter.ch)
Use the TStream descendants from the VCL Classes unit to read binary files.
There are plenty Delphi TStream reading binary files examples you can find using Google.

You might look at this post as they seem to be discussing this very thing.
