Styles of caption. For these identical figures, the lower caption is preferable because it
allows the figure to be less dependent on the paper's text
interrupt the flow of the main text. For example, a graph might show running
time for an algorithm over various data sets; the caption could include parameter
values. The caption can also be used to expand abbreviations or notation used in
headings.
Each figure and table should be numbered to allow easy reference. If your word
processor does not provide automatic numbering, you must number the figures your-
self. A figure is usually at the top or the bottom of a page, or on a page by itself,
to set it apart from ordinary text. A figure or table should always be introduced and
discussed in the main text, preferably just before or on the page on which it occurs.
If you don't have anything to say about a figure or table, leave it out.
