Figures preparation

Vector images

You should always try to prepare your images in a vector image format. Vector formats allow for much higher quality than raster formats. Vector images are suitable for line art (graphs, charts and diagrams).

The preffered vector format is .eps; however, for your convenience, we also accept the following vector formats:

.eps (Encapsulated PostScript)

.ps (PostScript)

.svg (Scalable Vector Format)

.ppt (Microsoft PowerPoint)

Raster images

Sometimes, it is impossible to prepare a vector graphics. When your image is a halftone (photograph) or a combination of halftone and line art, you should prepare a high-quality raster image.

We accept the following raster image formats:

.tif (Tagged Image File Format)

You should use uncompressed .tif images or use lossless LZW compression; 24 bpp RGB format is prefered for color images and 8 bpp format for grayscale images.

Hint: Most graphics editors can convert an image of any format to .tif.
