Abstract
We describe SelTex a text generation system for producing short texts and captions to accompany information graphics that are generated according to the writer's intentions. SelTex uses rules that were extracted from a corpus study of more than 400 text excerpts. This corpus study shows that text and graphics play complementary roles in transmitting information from the writer to the reader. We then derive some observations for the automatic generation of texts associated with graphics many of which were implemented in SelTex.
