# accessibility.point.descriptionFormatter

Formatter function to use instead of the default for point descriptions.

Receives one argument, `point`, referring to the point to describe. Should return a string with the description of the point for a screen reader user. If `false` is returned, the default formatter will be used for that point.

Note: Prefer using accessibility.point.valueDescriptionFormat instead if possible, as default functionality such as describing annotations will be preserved.
