[accessibleimage] Re: diagram description

Hi,
I mean the tactile image. 
So the result for one adapted graphic might be two descriptions, a
description for the source material and another description for the
tactile graphic. I say "might be" because I am guessing it would depend
upon the situation.
Also am thinking that this tactile description- guidance would be for the
cases where sound is not involved such as IVEO and TTT, since they have a
helping system here.

The background is that the description often accompaning the tactile
graphic is actually a description of the source material that the tactile
is made from. This is also valuable but still is a description of
something else.

Best,
Lisa
