ALT Text IV: Multiple means of representation
In this example, the data presented in the image is too long or complex for an ALT attribute. Instead, the data is represented in an accessible table on the same page, and the ALT text informs the user of this. Note that data visualizations are generally considered to present accessibility barriers and should be accompanied by either an accessible version of the data or a detailed extended description.
