AreasSettings is a class which defines the default settings for all MapArea objects.

### Example

    var map = AmCharts.makeChart("mapdiv",{
      ...
      "areasSettings": {
        "alpha": 0.5
      }
    });

### Properties

Property | Type | Default | Description

accessibleLabel | String | [[title]] [[value]] [[description]] | Text which screen readers will read if user rolls-over the area or sets focus using tab key (this is possible only if tabIndex property of AreasSettings or individual area is set to some number). Text is added as aria-label tag. Note - not all screen readers and browsers support this.

tabIndex

Number

In case you set it to some number, the map will set focus on areas (one by one) when user clicks tab key. When a focus is set, screen readers like NVDA Screen reader will read label which is set using accessibleLabel property of AreasSettings or individual area. If area is clickable, pressing Enter/Return while focus is set will select the area. Note, not all browsers and readers support this.
