Interface MaidrPluginOptions

Set to false to disable the MAIDR plugin for a specific chart.

Override the auto-detected chart title.

Override axis labels.

What the chart actually is, when Chart.js cannot say.

Several figures are drawn in Chart.js as a recipe rather than as a type of their own, and a few of those are shape-identical to another recipe: a Kaplan-Meier curve is a stepped line, a dumbbell is a horizontal floating bar exactly as a one-interval gantt is, and a gauge is a part-circle doughnut exactly as a half-pie is. Where the values cannot settle it — see the value heuristics in the extractor for the cases where they can — this is the author saying so, and it wins over every heuristic.

What one unit of a gantt chart's interval axis measures — "days", "sprints", "hours".

The length of an interval is the fact a schedule is drawn to carry, and Chart.js states the unit nowhere: a linear axis is bare numbers, and a time axis is parsed to epoch milliseconds whatever time.unit displays. Absent, MAIDR announces a length without naming a unit rather than inventing one.

What a dumbbell's two ends are called — "1990" and "2020", "before" and "after".

A dumbbell drawn as a floating bar carries one datum per row and no name for either end, so without these a reader is told which dot they are on ("start", "end") but not which year it is — the one thing the legend gives a sighted reader for free.

The target a bullet chart's marker sits at, and the qualitative bands its arc is coloured in.

A doughnut gauge draws neither: the target is a second arc or a needle and the bands are background colours, and Chart.js records both as styling rather than as data. They are part of the reading — "7 below target, in the 'ok' band" — so the author supplies them here or they go unannounced.

Outline color used for the DOM highlight overlay drawn on top of the canvas during MAIDR navigation. Accepts any CSS color string. Defaults to a translucent orange.
