Criteria |
Supporting Features |
Remarks and explanations |
(a)
When software is designed to run on a system that has a
keyboard, product functions shall be executable from a
keyboard where the function itself or the result of
performing a function can be discerned textually.
|
Supported |
All
features of STATGRAPHICS Centurion XVI are accessible via
keyboard input. |
(b)
Applications shall not disrupt or disable activated
features of other products that are identified as
accessibility features, where those features are
developed and documented according to industry
standards. Applications also shall not disrupt or
disable activated features of any operating system that
are identified as accessibility features where the
application programming interface for those
accessibility features has been documented by the
manufacturer of the operating system and is available to
the product developer. |
Supported |
No
features of any other products or operating systems are
disrupted or disabled by STATGRAPHICS Centurion XVI. |
(c) A
well-defined on-screen indication of the current focus
shall be provided that moves among interactive interface
elements as the input focus changes. The focus shall be
programmatically exposed so that Assistive Technology
can track focus and focus changes. |
Supported |
STATGRAPHICS Centurion XVI supports industry standard
keys for navigation through input focus elements. This
functionality is available to end users and to Assistive
Technology. The standard input focus indication as
provided by the operating system is used by STATGRAPHICS
Centurion XVI and is also available to Assistive
Technology. Note that it is not necessary to use
interactive interface elements at all to fully access
the capabilities of STATGRAPHICS Centurion XVI. All
functionality is also available via documented commands,
which may be input by a user. |
(d)
Sufficient information about a user interface element
including the identity, operation and state of the
element shall be available to Assistive Technology. When
an image represents a program element, the information
conveyed by the image must also be available in text.
|
Supported |
All
information available through icons and graphical user
interface elements in STATGRAPHICS Centurion XVI is also
available as text. Assistive Technology such as a Screen
Reader may make this information available through
speech synthesization or via a Braille output device. In
addition, all functionality provided by graphical user
interface elements is also available via documented
commands, which may be input by a user. |
(e) When bitmap images are used to identify controls, status
indicators, or other programmatic elements, the meaning
assigned to those images shall be consistent throughout
an application's performance. |
Supported |
Bitmap
images, such as icons and tool buttons, are used in a
completely consistent manner throughout STATGRAPHICS
Centurion XVI. |
(f)
Textual information shall be provided through operating
system functions for displaying text. The minimum
information that shall be made available is text
content, text input caret location, and text attributes.
|
Supported |
Standard operating system functions are used to output
text by STATGRAPHICS Centurion XVI. Alphanumeric output
is available as plain ASCII text and output may easily
be accepted by Assistive Technology, such as a Screen
Reader. Text input location at the text input caret is
set and available using standard operating system
functions. |
(g)
Applications shall not override user selected contrast
and color selections and other individual display
attributes. |
Supported |
User-defined settings are fully respected by
STATGRAPHICS Centurion XVI. |
(h)
When animation is displayed, the information shall be
displayable in at least one non-animated presentation
mode at the option of the user. |
Not
Applicable |
|
(i)
Color coding shall not be used as the only means of
conveying information, indicating an action, prompting a
response, or distinguishing a visual element.
|
Supported |
All
alphanumeric output in STATGRAPHICS Centurion XVI is
available as noncolor-coded plain ASCII text. In
addition, visual elements such as tool buttons and icons
are also identified with textual tooltips to convey
their meaning. |
(j)
When a product permits a user to adjust color and
contrast settings, a variety of color selections capable
of producing a range of contrast levels shall be
provided. |
Supported |
Where
STATGRAPHICS Centurion XVI allows the user to adjust
color settings, the full spectrum of colors and contrast
settings available through the operating system may be
selected. |
(k)
Software shall not use flashing or blinking text,
objects, or other elements having a flash or blink
frequency greater than 2 Hz and lower than 55 Hz.
|
Supported |
STATGRAPHICS Centurion does not use flashing or blinking
text. |
(l)
When electronic forms are used, the form shall allow
people using Assistive Technology to access the
information, field elements, and functionality required
for completion and submission of the form, including all
directions and cues. |
Supported |
It is
not necessary to use electronic forms to access the full
functionality of STATGRAPHICS Centurion XVI. |
