pnas-figures

separate

Use to finalize PNAS display items — column-width sizing (~9 / 11.4 / 18 cm), minimum font sizes, show-the-data with n and defined error bars, scale bars, colorblind-safe palettes, legend structure, image integrity, and color-mode notes. Enforces figure rigor before submission.

When to use

• column-width sizing
• minimum font sizes
• show-the-data with n and defined error bars
• scale bars
• colorblind-safe palettes
• legend structure
• image integrity
• color-mode notes

When not to use

• pasting raw software screenshots as figures
• using bars to hide small n with large spread
• leaving error bars undefined
• relying on red-vs-green as sole encoding
• selective deletion or splicing of images without disclosure
