Paragraph 3

Number figures consecutively in the order in which reference is made to them in the text, making no distinction between diagrams and photographs. Figures should fit within the type area width of 150 mm (5.91").

Figures, photographs, etc. should be in black only. Paste same size copies onto the typescript where you want them to appear in the text. Do not place them sideways on a page. Figures, etc. should not be centered, but placed against the left margin. Leave about two lines of space between the actual text and figure (including caption). Never place any text next to afigure. Leave this space blank. The most convenient place for placing figures is at the top or bottom of the page. Avoid placing text between figures as readers might not notice the text. Line drawings (as well as photographic reproductions of these) should be in black (not grey) on white. The minimum size of the lettering should be 9 point. Lines should preferably be 0.2 mm (0.1") thick. Keep figures as simple as possible. Avoid excessive notes and designations.

This is an example of italics, bold, underline, superscript and subscript.
