Information Graphics

Visual representations of data, information, or knowledge designed to present complex information quickly and clearly. Common types include bar charts, line graphs, pie charts, scatter plots, and more complex visualizations. Information graphics pose significant accessibility challenges because they convey meaning through visual patterns, trends, and spatial relationships that are not accessible to screen reader users. Making information graphics accessible requires more than simple alt text — it requires conveying the high-level message, key trends, and important data points in a way that provides equivalent understanding to non-visual users.
