Figures and Tables

Figures and tables can present complex information that may be difficult to explain in text and can help your reader to visualize the information you are trying to convey. Some readers may look only at your figures or tables without reading your article’s text, so it is important that your figures and tables communicate your results on their own and that they are clear and legible.

The Optica Publishing Group Journal Style Guides provide information about acceptable file types and other useful guidance for preparing your figures and tables.
