Creation of tactile graphics

The module titled Manual Creation of Tactile Graphics explains how to create tactile graphics from svg files that I will provide.

If you are going to have an assistant create tactile graphics for this module, you will need to download the file named Phy1002.zip , which contains the svg files for this module. Extract the svg files from the zip file and provide them to your assistant.

In each case where I am providing an svg file for the creation of tactile graphics, I will identify the name of the appropriate svg file and display animage of the contents of the file for the benefit of your assistant. As explained here , those images will be mirror images of the actual images so that your assistant can emboss the image from the back ofthe paper and you can explore it from the front.

I will also display a non-mirror-image version of the image so that your assistant can easily read the text in the image.

What is SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) ?

The shortest answer that I can come up with is that SVG is a technology that makes it possible for a blind student to create technical drawings. If thestudent can imagine it, the student can draw it using SVG and drawing tools that I will provide in this module.

According to Wikipedia

"Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) is a family of specifications of an XML-based file format for describing two-dimensional vector graphics, both static and dynamic (i.e. interactive or animated).

Don Reply
In biology, a pathogen (Greek: πάθος pathos "suffering", "passion" and -γενής -genēs "producer of") in the oldest and broadest sense, is anything that can produce disease. A pathogen may also be referred to as an infectious agent, or simply a germ. The term pathogen came into use in the 1880s.[1][2
