==From R==
 
* Make chart in R, make as many as possible changes to text size, labels colors and layout within R
* Some recommendations:
** 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
 
 
 
==Notes==
*Use font Arial
*Use 11 pt for most labels and 8pt for axis labels
*Use 18 pt for panel lettering
*For lines use a stroke of 2
