[Scorecard] formatting figures for Tech Report

[Caitlin Cornwall]

Hi Bob,
Unless you have uncovered something--some finding or some  
uncertainty--that you think the group should discuss and decide  
about, I think we are ready for the Oct 15 version of your indices  
and indicators to be the final one. I know you were going to be  
investigating a few more leads. Has anything come of those  
investigations that might cause changes to the version you have  
currently? If not, I think it's time to finalize the figures.  
Naturally, a need to modify this or that could still arise, but after  
Oct 15 such modifications should be minor refinements, not changes of  
course.

Thanks, Frances.  I am uncertain how finished the second drafts due  
Oct 15 are supposed to be.  Should we try to put in all figures at  
this point?  My inclination is to wait till the text is pretty much  
set, so as to avoid unnecessary work, and I don't know whether we're  
there yet.

Thinking about budget, I would appreciate guidance as to how many  
future iterations of the technical report we should plan for, if  
anybody has thought about that.  If this is to be the last major  
iteration for me, I'll feel better about taking the time to make all  
figures & will try to format them all as requested.

Hello all,

We have not yet discussed formatting figures for the Scorecard  
technical report; however, it would be great if authors would format  
their figures using the following conventions:





Place figures in word files, place in text near the first reference  
to the figure in the text.  The figure title should be written below  
the graph in MS Word.
Figures should be inserted as Tiff, jpeg, or ppt files.
If you make tiff files, please use the "LZW compression" option when  
saving the files. That will significantly reduce the file size,  
without adversely affecting the image quality.


All lettering should be no smaller than a 6-point font size. (shoot  
for 10 pt, unless it’s not manageable)


use arial font


Nomenclature, abbreviations, symbols, and units used in a figure  
should match those used in the text and tables.
       7. ·Use italics only as used in the text (e.g., variables,  
species names). All Greek letters should be set upright (roman, not  
italic) &· Avoid boldface lettering.


         8.   Axis lines, tick marks, error bars, etc. should be  
thick enough to be easily viewable

       9. use a black and white color scheme

      10.  Please submit original figure files so that we can make  
quick changes if necessary

       11. graphs should be on white backgrounds, with borders on all  
four sides





Thanks!
