Image guides

Learn about text alternatives, captions, and long descriptions for images and complex graphics.

Data visualization guide

Data visualizations can be an effective way to communicate complex data sets by providing a visual representation of data through charts, graphs, and maps. Data visualizations make data more accessible by presenting information in an additional format for understanding what the data represents.

Learn about creating Data Visualizations that include navigation capabilities and contextual information to support people with disabilities.
