Tools to make `matplotlib` and `plotly` charts plus Markdown / Quarto
documents follow the [Web Content Accessibility Guidelines
(WCAG 2.1)](https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/). Provides accessible themes,
layout helpers, WCAG-tagged palettes, alt-text scaffolds, per-criterion
audits, a chart-and-document rubric, heading-hierarchy and reading-level
checks, and a drop-in stylesheet for HTML tables and SVG diagrams. R
sibling: [a11yviz](https://github.com/mshin77/a11yviz).

> **Scope.** Chart-and-document subset of WCAG 2.1 — 15 of ~50 A/AA criteria.
> Not a substitute for whole-app review with assistive technologies.

## Installation

```bash
pip install a11yviz
```

## Quick start

```python
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import a11yviz

with a11yviz.theme(level="AA"):
    fig, ax = plt.subplots()
    ax.scatter(mpg, weight, c=cyl)

a11yviz.alt_text(fig, "Scatter of weight vs MPG by cylinder count.")
```
