ARIA Label for Shapes
Business Background
ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) accessibility refers to a set of specifications developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) to improve the accessibility of web content, especially dynamic content and user interface components.
Use ARIA Labels to provide labels that screen readers and assistive technology can read. This markup is added to the HTML to communicate to users.

- Click on the settings Gear icon. The element settings screen opens.
