They may however be placed, for commodity reasons, either at the top or the bottom of the page. Figures should be placed in the text body. Figure captions should be placed underneath each figure. Figures and captions should be centered. For convenience, two figures can be placed side by side with corresponding caption under each one. Leave one line space between the figure and its caption, and between the caption and the following text.
For tables, use the same rules, but put the caption above the table, as follows :
