This set of functions aims to provide p5.js users with simple and easy ways to create text-based canvas descriptions that are accessible to screen readers and that can also be displayed under the canvas as a canvas label. Although p5.js sketches go beyond the canvas, the most significant barrier for access is in the nature of this html element — which is just a bitmap with no information about any drawn objects. With these functions, instead of creating a “shadow DOM” as with the accessibility add-on, the goal is to provide descriptions for screen readers through fallback content in the sub DOM of the canvas element. Users can also easily display the descriptions outside of the fallback content to use them as canvas labels akin to a tombstone or exhibit labels/captions.
