[Project] Improve the accessibility of Bokeh's Gallery examples

pavithraes opened this issue ยท 8 comments

Bokeh has an Examples Gallery with over a hundred example/demo visualizations. It is one of the most referenced pages in the Bokeh documentation. This project involves reviewing and updating ~30% of the example plots to be more accessible. It includes:

  • Using the newly added accessibility colour palettes in the plots,
  • Making sure corresponding documentation text has adequate context about the plots, and
  • Creating some best-practices and guidelines for future examples to be more accessible.

Preliminary reading

Hi @pavithraes

While working on #7 I noticed there are no straightforward guides/examples in this section which makes using it kind of ambiguous. I think small examples can be added to this section on how to use the palettes from bokeh.palettes to make the guides better. What say? I can make a PR accordingly and update a few examples

Hello, @pavithraes I have a question. Are we only supposed to update the colors used in example gallery plots? For example how about adjusting the width, length, and scales used for some bars?

I'll love to work on this project @pavithraes Although, a bit more briefing would be needed. can't wait.
