Feedback invited - FLOE chart authoring tool chart library research outcomes

[Harnum, Alan]

Hi Jan,

Thanks for the feedback - comments in return:

- I personally like the thought of end users being able to choose alternative graphing methods; something to consider when we’re designing and implementing the embed experience
- I think accessible data tables are pretty much a given
- sonification is a planned part of the authoring tool and incorporated into the current designs (https://www.dropbox.com/s/c7qfhpf13cw12ei/CA%20Tool%20%5BVersion%207%5D.pdf?dl=0)
<https://www.dropbox.com/s/c7qfhpf13cw12ei/CA%20Tool%20%5BVersion%207%5D.pdf?dl=0>
- there are also some interesting sonification sketches at https://wiki.fluidproject.org/display/fluid/Sonification+Sketches

Hi Alan,

Some thoughts on:
https://wiki.fluidproject.org/display/fluid/Open+Source+Chart+Library+Selection

Under "Accessibility criteria", so far you have:

  *   Alternate representations
  *   Navigating aspects of chart with keyboard only
  *   Screen reader behaviour

I might add:

  *   Ability of the end user to choose alternative graphing methods (e.g. subbing a bar chart for a pie chart)
  *   Ability of the end user to choose to display accessible data tables
  *   Timing control (pause/play, step forward, step back, etc.) in the event that dynamic charting is used.

Can I assume that UIOptions support (e.g. for end user control of contrast, text size, spacing, etc.) is a given?

Also, has thought been given to adding sonfication in the future? (one approach:http://sonify.psych.gatech.edu/research/auditorygraphs/index.html)

Cheers,
Jan

Subject: Feedback invited - FLOE chart authoring tool chart library research outcomes

Hello everyone,

Some of us spent last week researching potential approaches to creating accessible charts and graphs for the chart authoring tool. We have a proposed approach for going forward that we’d invite others to review:

https://wiki.fluidproject.org/display/fluid/Open+Source+Chart+Library+Selection

(the first half of the page is the research outcomes; the second half is an earlier capture of our criteria)

Thanks,
Alan
