Keyboard and screen reader ​

The plot is one tab stop, a group with the role description "chart" and label as its name.

A scatter moves between points instead; see cursor, keyboard and picks. A heatmap and a timeline have keys of their own.

The pointer and the keyboard keep separate places. When the pointer leaves, the cursor returns to the keyboard's bucket.

What a screen reader hears ​

A polite live region reads each bucket the keyboard reaches ("14:00, Errors 12, Warnings 3"). With onActivate, every bucket is a button with that name instead, and the live region stays quiet. Chart.Table makes every value readable without the cursor.

Escape in a dialog ​

The Escape that clears the cursor stops at the chart, so a surrounding dialog stays open until a second Escape.

Decorative charts ​

A decorative chart takes interactive={false} and becomes an image named by label, with no tab stop, keys or live region. The pointer still moves the cursor and the tooltip.

Empty data ​

A chart without data says "No data". The loading state stays with the app.
