This module is part of a collection of modules designed to make physics concepts accessible to blind students.
If you opened this page in the context of the book, a Table of Contents for the book (or collection) should be available above and to the left of thisparagraph. Otherwise, click here to open the book at the beginning.
This book is intended to supplement but not to replace the textbook in an introductory high school or college physics course.
This module describes one of the ways for creating tactile graphics for the modules in this collection.
In addition to an Internet connection and a browser, you will need the following tools (as a minimum) to work through the exercises in these modules:
As you will see in this module, there are some additional requirements for creating and exploring tactile graphics.
The minimum prerequisites for understanding the material in these modules include:
I recommend that you open another copy of this document in a separate browser window and use the following links to easily find and view the figureswhile you are reading about them.
I recommend that you also study the other lessons in my extensive collection of online programming tutorials. You will find a consolidated index at www.DickBaldwin.com .
I will begin this discussion with a discussion of a type of graphics file known as Scalable Vector Graphics file.
There are a variety of different formats for storing graphics information in disk files. One of those formats, and the one that I have adopted for thiscollection of modules, is called Scalable Vector Graphics . Files containing Scalable Vector Graphics information typically have an extension of svg, and are often referred tosimply as svg files.
