Example of Tactile Graphic Design:
Calvin Cycle
The following points indicate the braille code, format rules, and design techniques that were used for this tactile graphic example.
- chemistry braille code
- placement of adjacent directional lines, 1/8 inch (3 millimeters) apart (2.11)
- placement of labels for chemical formulae so that arrow points to the start or end of the chemical formula, similar to lead line (3.4.3.6)
- use of two different arrowhead styles (3.4.3.7)
- use of different directional line textures (6.17.1.1)
- placement of labels do not interfere with structure (6.17.2)
- produced as a tactile graphic rather than as a list (7.3.13)
