Figure (publishing)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- For other uses of "figure", see figure.
A figure in writing and publishing is any graphic, text, table or other representation that is unaligned from the main flow of text. Figures are commonly found in scientific and non-scientific articles, but also in books. Some books will have a table of figures--in addition to the table of contents--that lists centrally all the figures appearing in the work.
