Interactions Forgivable#

Test Type Performed#

Interactions are forgivable.

Artifact Evaluated#

Annotations: which include titles, axes labels, legends and their labels, colorbar, span (i.e, line), text, and arrows.

Results Summary#

Annotations fail for the hover tooltips. There is no easy way to renavigate to a previously hovered point on the line chart.

The interactive legend does pass. It can be easily toggled in a single process and doesn’t create hard to replicate actions.

Expected Behavior (Pass/Fail)#

  • FAILS - When the visualization is interactive or has the ability to perform a task, the user must be able to both undo or redo their actions in a single process.

Image or Video of Failure#

(similar test provided by plot tools, see below:)

A line chart is shown. A mouse cursor hovers over a plot tool called “Hover.” Using the mouse, a user moves to a dashed line in the chart space. The user then hovers over a line (showing a number 47.218) then moves away. They try to hover over the same point again an cannot easily find the same data value.

Steps to Reproduce#

Using a mouse, hover over the line or dashed line on the double line chart. Move your mouse away and try to find the same data point again.

Notes#

The interactive legend works well so when it comes to making it interactable with a SR it will be important to keep the same semantics and mechanics.
