maidr: Multimodal Access and Interactive Data Representation

Provides accessible, interactive visualizations through the 'MAIDR' (Multimodal Access and Interactive Data Representation) system. Converts 'ggplot2' and Base R plots into accessible HTML/SVG formats with keyboard navigation, screen reader support, and 'sonification' capabilities. Supports bar charts (simple, grouped, stacked), histograms, line plots, scatter plots, box plots, heat maps, density/smooth curves, faceted plots, multi-panel layouts (including patchwork), and multi-layered plot combinations. Enables data exploration for users with visual impairments through multiple sensory modalities. For more details see the 'MAIDR' project <https://maidr.ai/>.
