Ten simple tips for better figures
(from PLOS Computational Biology)
Use simple 2-dimensional line graphs, bar chargs, pie charts.
Avoid 3-dimensional graphs unless you're displaying 3-dimensional data -
and then proceed carefully, as many 3-D graphs are difficult to interpret.
Text on graphs must follow same guidelines
as all other text so that it will be visible.
Use photos that help deliver your message.
Use spot art - but not too much - to attract attention.
