strongly encouraged.) English units may be used as secondary
units (in parentheses). This applies to papers in data storage.

The following list outlines the different types of graphics
published in IEEE journals. They are categorized based on 1) Color/Grayscale figures
their construction, and use of color / shades of gray: Figuresthataremeanttoappearincolor,orshadesof

B. Multipart figures
Figures compiled of more than one subfigure presented

multiple figure types (one part is lineart, and another is

guidelines.

processing program that will allow you to create the images as
