RAAM 1.1
Graphic element with legend
When a text adjacent to a graphic element contains information about the graphic element (e.g. copyright, date, author, etc.) or is intended to supplement the information provided by the graphic element (e.g. a text associated with an image in an image gallery), it is referred to as a captioned graphic element.
When a graphic element is captioned, it is necessary to associate the legend with the graphic element, so that assistive technologies can treat the graphic element and its legend as a single whole.
