Hi All,
Suppose we use R to prepare figures. What's the most effective figure preparation to publish our works in bioinformatics/genomics journals? As we know, now, we need have at least 6 figures (Figure 1 - Figure 6) and each figures would include 4 or 6 sub-figure. Therefore, what's your strategy to prepare these figures. How to set the figure size for the sub-figure?
- Will you set them to width=2? inch and height=3 inches? So there the totally figures would be 6 inches width and 8 inches height?
- Will you plot the sub-figures with R's default setting (width=7, height=7) and then scale them in photoshop with other sub-figures?
Also, I have some skills sharing with you.
- Save figure to pdf or png, never save them to jpg
- The font size of label, axis and legends should be large enough in the paper
- The font type in figure should be same with main manuscript
- The lines should be as bold as possible.
More skills are welcome.
Here is a example, how to prepare this figure with highest efficiency?
