Summary

Developers don't have a comprehensive set of features and guidance for creating accessible charts for their end customers.

Features

  • Keyboard navigation and support for focus management
  • API to expose relevant aria attributes
  • SVG aria-roles and -attributes

Resources

https://www.w3.org/wiki/SVG_Accessibility/ARIA_roles_for_charts

Benchmark

  • Highcharts
  • Fusioncharts
  • Recharts
  • Syncfusion
  • (Nivo doesn't have a proper page with an accessible example, but they have the isFocusable prop that allows keyboard navigation into each svg element, which opens up the charts for screen readers)

Limitations and challenges

  • Might apply only to SVG charts
