There are accessible descriptions of all visuals. But there's also a bunch of people who can't distinguish colors well enough, while still seeing the graphs. We can easily improve things for them:

  • Consider using pointStyle for line graphs (and their legends)
  • Consider using fill patterns for bar charts (and their legends)
  • Consider making one of both of those optional as they might hurt accessibility for other folks because of the clutter it adds?

Point style for line graphs was added in 2022. The fill patterns will have to come later (it also has to be pretty of course!), if someone wants to propose a PR I'm open to that.
