WAI-ARIA APG Meter Pattern
Documents meter as a graphical numeric value in a defined range, gives battery and fuel examples, marks keyboard interaction as not applicable, requires role/name/min/max/current values for custom meters, and distinguishes meter from progressbar.
Pattern Decisions This Source Supports
| Pattern | Supported decision | Required contract | Claim note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Meter | Choose meter when a read-only scalar value has a meaningful minimum and maximum. | The meter is read-only; users cannot drag, type, increment, or submit the meter itself. | APG supports meter semantics, no keyboard interaction, useful value text, labels, and separation from progressbar. |
