get-alt-text

Read the alt text stored on a plot spec.

Returns whatever was passed toplot via alt:, or none if the spec was built without one. This lets renderers and accessibility tooling pull the description out without parsing the rendered figure.

Usage

get-alt-text(
  plot,
)

Parameters

Parameter Default Description
plot Plot spec dictionary (the dictplot builds internally).

Returns

The alt string, or none if absent.

Examples

Pull the alt text from a built spec for accessibility reporting.

#let p = (data: (), alt: "Scatter of weight vs mpg")
#let alt = get-alt-text(p)
