Spacing#

Test Type Performed#

Spacing is appropriate.

Artifact Evaluated#

Plot tools. Specifically, evaluating the interface icons that are used to access the tools that are in the scatter plot.

Results Summary#

These are fine

Expected Behavior (Pass/Fail)#

  • Pass - Use of white space and other forms of padded, structured spacing should be appropriate. Too much or too little white space on charts with intervals (like a bar chart with thin bars and large gaps or vice a versa) can cause perceivable and understandable issues.

Image or Video of Failure#

A color scatter plot is shown. A plotting tool button is highlighted on the right, while the contrast checking score is shown on the bottom left corner (fails).

Steps to Reproduce#

Measure gap size and element size for repeating, aligned elements. Gaps should not be wider than 50% of element size in cases where elements are laid out in a regular pattern or fashion. At least 1 pixel visual and interactive gap should be provided between interactive elements that are categorically different. For clustering and encodings where non-interactive elements overlap, this test is not relevant.
