| (a) A text equivalent for every non-text element shall be provided (e.g., via “alt”, “longdesc”, or in element content). |
All charts produced by AnyChart add an “aria-label” for all elements of the chart that need
identification, “aria-label” is a standard
way for screen readers to undestand and narrate non-textual information. “aria-label”
content is automatically created by default,
if needed it can be customized. AnyChart also have an option to replace or enrich a chart with a visible or invisible screen reader accessible table. All information about AnyChart accesibility functionality is available in AnyChart Documentation: Accessibility and Section 508 Compliance. |

| (c) Web pages shall be designed so that all information conveyed with color is also available without color, for example from context or markup. |
AnyChart products provide theme
functionality, including high-contrast themes.
