Built for ECON 100. To use in Canvas, upload this file under Files and link to it, or host it and add a link. Canvas removes scripts from normal pages, so it runs from a direct link rather than pasted into a page. Works with keyboard and screen readers, and the status text always describes the diagram in words.
