[accessibleimage] Re: diagram description

Hello,

Before I set out for an explanation that might not be to the point, just a
question of vocabulary: by tactile graphics, do you mean tactile images, or
just graphs?

Subject: [accessibleimage] diagram description

Hi,
There was an interesting discussion in another list uvip@yahoogroups about
tactile diagrams, guided exploration, description etc. Will Pearson wrote
a very interesting mail and it got me to thinking. Something I have been
thinking about for a while.  And that is description for tactile graphics.
Perhaps some of you have solutions already worked out. It would be nice to
hear about them.

The point about guided exploration was very interesting. Perhaps there
could be levels of description. Simple, detailed, more detailed ?
One could divide the graphic in 4 quadrants upper right, upper left, lower
right and lower left. 
First one would give a general description of the whole, then tell what
there is in each quadrant.

So that the description following the tactile would be a description of it
and not of the source material that the tactile is based on.

What do you think?
Best,
Lisa
