Uh oh!

• Problem: Vico charts are currently rendered on a single Canvas . As a result, screen readers (TalkBack) treat the entire chart as a single flat image.
Users cannot navigate point-to-point between individual data entries.
• Impact: This makes Vico charts inaccessible to visually impaired users and violates ADA compliance requirements.
• Proposed Solution: Refactor the Compose chart drawing container to use a custom Layout that overlays invisible, focusable semantic nodes at the
coordinates of each data point, allowing TalkBack users to swipe through points chronologically.
• Action: I have implemented a working solution and would like to submit a Pull Request to upstream this feature.
