ABSTRACT

We have implemented a Java application that automatically generates tactile bar and pie charts from data values given in a formatted text file. The tool is designed to semi-automate the construction of tactile versions of bar and pie charts in educational material. The tool provides a wide variety of layout styles. While the tool allows the user to fine tune the layout, the generated SVG diagram can also be modified in a standard diagram editor.
