The graphics number that jfw reports is a function of the program itself,
plus the color and resolution settings on your machine.
Therefore, there is no master list anywhere.
To make matters worse, some programs do not use unique numbers. This makes
labeling graphics impossible. I'm not sure what happens visually--perhaps
the same picture with different text in it.
However, here's what to do to label unlabeled graphics:
1. Turn screen echo to all with insert+s.
2. Turn your jaws cursor on with the numpad minus key.
3. Take your cursor up to the graphic you want to label.
4. As you cross that graphic your speech should tell you what it does.
(this is assuming there is a tooltip associated with the graphic.) If
not, the sighted assistance will be necessary.
5. Hit insert+g to turn on the graphics labeler.
6. Turn back on your pc cursor with numpad+plus.
7. Tab down to "label" and type whatever you want the graphics to say.
8. Tab to OK and hit enter.
I know that this sounds long and tedious, but you only have to do it once,
and it sure does help once you've done the work.
Luck,
Bob
