+* Make chart in R, make as many as possible changes to text size, labels colors and layout within R
-*Set font Arial and size 24 for labels and 16 for numbering (2x)
+* Some recommendations:
-*Transform ... scale ... 50% in illustrator
+** Use ggplot2 library for all figures
+** Add the commands at the end of your figure generation command :
+<code>theme_classic() + # to get the overall layout</code>
+<code>theme(text = element_text(size=18) # to increase font</code>
+* Use same library (ie ggplot), font sizes etc for all figures in a paper.  If you need to create multiple versions of a figure in R that is fine.
+* Create an illustrator file, with artboards for each figure panel (if for a paper)
+* Drag the '''pdf''' file from the figures folder in your R script onto the artboard.  For ease of use do not resize figure.
+* Add a panel indicator (i.e. "A.") for each figure
+* Note in the README.md file where the script is located (in the git repository) and which pdf file was used
