List o# -igures

A !igure can be a photograph, bar chart, pie chart, !low chart, line drawing, etc. A properly

constructed !igure should stand on its own and con&ey a salient point to the reader. A properly!ormatted !igure includes a !igure number and a 9caption: which also ser&es as a title o! sorts

that eplains the !igure. The caption-title is brie!, but gi&es the reader enough in!ormation to

completely understand the !igure. A 9legend: that eplains symbols, abbre&iations and termsused in the !igure may also be included. A !igure number, caption-title, and legend are !ormatted

to appear below the !igure. A title should not appear within the !igure itsel!. 4ee eample o!
