Graphs

 The real challenge lies in interpretation of graphs and write Alt text for them.  If the graphs are simple, it is much easier.  But if you find more than one curve on the graph or too many data to interpret, then it becomes a challenge. You need to use your power of reasoning to interpret.

 

How to interpret line graphs

 

Line graphs show time series data for more variables vary over a continuous period of time.

 

Line graphs are particularly useful for identifying patterns and trends in the data such as seasonal effects, large changes and turning points. Line graphs can also be appropriate for displaying data that are measured over other continuous variables such as distance.

 

For example, a line graph can be used to show how pollution levels vary with increasing distance from a source, or how the level of a chemical varies with depth of soil.

 

In a line graph the x-axis represents the continuous variable (for example year or distance from the initial measurement) whilst the y-axis has a scale and indicates the measurement. Several data series can be plotted on the same line chart and this is particularly useful for analyzing and comparing the trends in different datasets.

Maps

 Writing Alt text for maps is also quite interesting and challenging.

 

When we do alt text on maps, we need not include names of countries on a world map that shows borders  but not provide country names. We need not include state names on alt text for a map of the United States that shows borders but not provide state names. Writing alt text like that is laborious and time-consuming.  

 

World maps have more general alt text, "A world map shows that most countries with rates of less than 5 percent or 5 to 15 percent of cesarean births are in central and southern Africa, the Middle East, and southeast Asia. Countries with rates of 15 to 30 percent include many in Western Europe as well as Canada, Russia, and China. Countries with rates above 30 percent include some in Western Europe as well as the United States, Mexico, Brazil, and Australia."

 

 

Short alt text:  An unlabeled world map shows variation in five human skin colors across continents.   

 

Long alt text: The general locations of the skin colors are as follows: Fair (White): Northern Europe, Scandinavia, Greenland, Arctic. Light brown: The dominant overall color, covering most of Europe, Asia, North America, Australia, and eastern South America. ·Medium brown: Central America, western South America, a belt across northern Africa into the Middle East. · Dark brown: Most of central and southern Africa. Very dark brown (black): Pockets in central and southern Africa.   

Bar charts

 

Horizontal bar charts

Bar charts are normally drawn in vertical which means that the taller the bar, the larger the category. However, it is also possible to draw in horizontal which means that the longer the bar, the larger the category. This is an effective way of presenting data when different categories have long titles that would be difficult to include below a vertical bar, or when there are a large number of different categories and there is insufficient space to fit all the columns required for a vertical bar chart across the page.

Grouped bar charts

Grouped bar charts help to give information about different sub-groups of the main categories. Grouped bar charts can be used to show several sub-groups of each category but care needs to be taken to ensure that the chart does not contain too much information making it complicated to read and interpret. Grouped bar charts can be drawn as both horizontal and vertical charts depending upon the nature of the data to be presented.

Stacked bar charts

Stacked bar chars are similar to grouped bar charts in that they are used to display information about the sub-groups that make up the different categories. In stacked bar charts the bars representing the sub-groups are placed on top of each other to make a single column, or side by side to make a single bar. The overall height or length of the bar shows the total size of the category whilst different colors or shadings are used to indicate the relative contribution of the different sub-groups.
