#
#' Create Figure Presentation Options
#'
#' Defines the **visual presentation** of a figure independently from the data
#' mapping.  Pass the result as the `opts` argument of [hd_make()], or omit
#' it to accept all defaults.
#'
#' Because opts are separate from [hd_spec()], the same data mapping can
#' be rendered with multiple styles without repetition:
#'
#' ```r
#' spec    <- hd_spec(df, "age", "pct", group = "sex")
#' opts_en <- hd_opts(title = "Health survey",    subtitle = "All ages")
#' opts_no <- hd_opts(title = "Helseundersøkelse", subtitle = "Alle aldre")
#'
#' hd_make(spec, "column", opts_en)
#' hd_make(spec, "column", opts_no)
#' ```
#'
#' @param title       Character or `NULL`. Chart title.
#' @param subtitle    Character or `NULL`. Subtitle. Highcharter default:
#'   `"Kilde: Navn av kilder"`.
#' @param caption     Character or `NULL`. Caption text displayed below the
#'   figure (highcharter only). This is a **visible** footnote, distinct from
#'   `description` which is read only by assistive technology.
#' @param description Character or `NULL`. Invisible accessibility description
#'   of the figure intended for screen readers and other assistive technology.
#'   \describe{
#'     \item{highcharter}{Passed to `hc_accessibility(description = ...)`.
#'       Requires the accessibility module, which highdir loads automatically.
#'       Screen readers announce this text when the user focuses the chart.}
#'     \item{ggplot2}{Set as the `alt` label via `labs(alt = ...)`, available
#'       since ggplot2 3.3.0.  Rendered as an HTML `alt` attribute when the
#'       plot is saved to SVG or included in an R Markdown / Quarto document
#'       with `fig.alt` support.}
#'   }
#'   Write a concise one- or two-sentence summary of what the figure shows,
#'   including the key trend or comparison, so the information is equally
#'   accessible to users who cannot see the chart.  Example:
#'   `"Bar chart showing alcohol use by age group. Use is highest in the
#'   45-54 age group at 65% and lowest in 18-24 at 42%."`
#' @param xlab        Character or `NULL`. X-axis label. \describe{
#'   \item{`" "` (default)}{Use the `x` column name from [hd_spec()].}
#'   \item{`NULL`}{Hide the x-axis label completely.}
#'   \item{any string}{Use that string as the label.} }
#' @param ylab        Character or `NULL`. Y-axis label. Same rules as `xlab`.
#' @param ylim        Numeric vector of length 2 or `NULL`. Fixed y-axis
#'   limits, e.g. `c(0, 100)`.
#' @param yint        Positive numeric. Y-axis tick interval. Default `10`.
#' @param ysuffix     Character or `NULL`. String appended to every y-axis
#'   tick label, e.g. `"%"` or `" km"`. `NULL` shows no suffix.
#' @param xtick_labels Character or `NULL`. Column name supplying custom
#'   x-axis tick labels when the plotted x-values are numeric but the
#'   displayed labels should come from another column. Highcharter only.
#'   Note: Highcharts indexes categories from 0, not 1.
#' @param decimals    Integer or `NULL`. Number of decimal places to round
#'   the y-values to before rendering. Applied to the data via
#'   `check_decimals()` in [hd_make()]. `NULL` leaves values unchanged.
#' @param flip        Logical. Invert axes (horizontal bars / inverted chart).
#'   Default `FALSE`.
#' @param colors      Character vector, palette name string, or `NULL`.
#'   Per-figure colour override; takes precedence over [hd_set_theme()].
#' @param hc_theme    Character or `NULL`. Per-figure highcharter theme name;
#'   takes precedence over [hd_set_theme()]. See [hd_theme()] for valid names.
#' @param gg_theme    Character name string, ggplot2 theme object, or `NULL`.
#'   Per-figure ggplot2 theme; takes precedence over [hd_set_theme()].
#'   Name strings: `"classic"` (default), `"minimal"`, `"bw"`, `"light"`,
#'   `"dark"`, `"void"`, `"grey"`. Or pass a `ggplot2::theme_*()` object
#'   directly, e.g. `ggplot2::theme_bw(base_size = 14)`.
#'
#' @return An S3 object of class `"hd_opts"`.
#'
#' @seealso [hd_spec()], [hd_make()], [hd_set_theme()]
