Groups

So, there are basically two groups of images that can happen. So, the first one is that

you have multiple images and combined they convey a single piece of information. And

then you might have a collection of images where every image individually contributes

to the information. And we'll see how that looks. And the first one, you will be super

like, okay, I understand this concept. And that's a star rating. Everyone has used star ratings

before. And this is like just the output and it's three and a half stars of five. And this is the

information that is conveyed. Now, what they did in this example is that they basically used five

images next to each other and the first three are star full dot jpeg should probably be pngs but

you know um uh star full uh uh images so they are fully filled stars and then you have a half

filled star as the fourth image and then you have an empty star as the fifth image um and

And what you can do, but what would be pretty cumbersome is to say like full star, full star, full star, half star, empty star.

And then the screen reader user would need to make that calculation in their head.

Would be technically accessible, I guess.

But in reality, what you want is to say like, oh, this is 3.5 out of 5 stars and then the

other images, they are only decorative and they don't matter anymore.

And then it might have collection of images.

So these are different like paintings of the same castle.

And so you have this castle through the ages.

And then you have like the 1423 charcoal painting.

And then you have the Orbeez painting.

And then you have the photograph from 1960.

the 36. And basically the idea is that this is all like inside of a field set. And then

these individual captions are also field sets that describe the images above them. So what

we have here is that we have this figure and figcaption and this figcaption, this caption,

Basically it describes the other three figures and then these three figures to describe the

fig captions inside of those back describe the image.

So you get these things.

Now those captions in this case are not, and I have to say that really clearly, are not

alternative text.

are basically additional information to it. So you'll see that in the first one it says the

castle has one tower and a tall wall was around it and then you have as the second alternative,

it's the castle now has two towers and two walls while the fake caption is just describing the

style and from when it was. So there is these different, yeah, just these, you know, two

distinction on how you want to use the alternative text. So the alternative text is always, what

do you see on the image? Describe that.
