PLACEMENT OF GRAPHIC KEYS
Braille Formats does not discuss the key placement for tactile graphics. But, every reference to a key for a table, columned material and/or pronunciation table, stresses that the key must be part of a transcriber's note and must precede the item. See Rule 7, Sec. 1d(1), Rule 8, Sec. 9c, Rule 8, Sec. 6b. Even when discussing captions that might further describe a table, the instructions are to place that caption before the table. See Rule 8, Sec 5.
The Accessible Textbook Department requires all keys to be either on the same page as the graphic, or on the preceding page of the graphic in interpoint transcriptions.
Use 2 cell symbols within the key and diagram. Symbols on the graphic must be identical to the symbols shown in the key. Repeat the key with each graphic when one print item requires multiple graphics.
