Figures
Here are some examples of how to use figures.
Remember to place the figure title below the figure.
Graphs:
Graphs offer a good way to present and
compare data.
Figure 1. Comparison of starting salaries from 1998 – 2001 for the R&D, Accounting, and Sales Departments.
Note: A line graph like this makes it easy to show comparisons over time.
Figure 2. Comparison of starting salaries from 1998
– 2001 for the R&D, Accounting, and Sales Departments.
Note: A bar
graph like this emphasizes a comparison of the data.
