tables and figures guidelines

Tables and figures are visual tools used to present data clearly and efficiently. Guidelines recommend that they be labeled accurately with titles and legends, and only include essential information to avoid confusion. They should be placed close to where they are referenced in the text, with consistent formatting and clear labels for columns, rows, or axes. Use simple, readable fonts and avoid clutter. The goal is to make complex information easier to understand at a glance, supporting the main message without overwhelming the reader. Properly created tables and figures enhance clarity and reinforce your data presentation.
