SUMMARY:Graphs & Charts: Meeting WCAG 2.2 Level AA Requirements
DESCRIPTION:Are you adding graphs or charts to your documents? \nIt is crucial to ensure that your charts\, such as bar charts\, line graphs\, and pie charts\, meet the necessary Color Contrast Requirements. This includes meeting the requirements for the use of color (WCAG 1.4.1)\, text contrast (WCAG 1.4.3)\, and non-text contrast (WCAG 1.4.11). All images will also need meaningful alternative text to be considered accessible. Join Rachel Reeves as we explore good and bad examples of bar charts\, pie charts\, line graphs\, and maps to learn how to design accessible graphs and charts. \nEvent information and calendar invite
