3.7 Visual Content in Text
The body text must include visual content presented in tables and figures. They are very useful for making the text more obvious, intelligible and easy to understand, reducing the physical volume of text itself. Tables and figures must be incorporated within the text. Insert each table and/or figure as close as possible after it has been referenced in the text.
All illustrating content (color or grayscale) included in thesis document must be clearly readable. All diagrams, drawings, and figures must be clear, sharp, and large enough to be read. Color figures, illustrations, or charts may be submitted. Numeration is made with Arabic numbers. Figures, tables, etc. may be numbered consecutively throughout (1, 2, 3, etc.) or may be numbered by chapter (1.2, 1.2, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, etc.). All tables and figures, including the caption, must meet margin, font, and format requirements (appendix G). While formatting tables and figures use smaller font size than in main text – 12-13 pt. Single space before and after all tables and figures within the text. No hyphenation in captions allowed. Dots are put at the end of notes, but not in captions.
Master's student may place tables and/or figures in the body of the text or in a separate appendix unless several tables and/or figures are listed together and interrupt the flow of the text, then they must be placed in a separate appendix. If tables and/or figures are placed in a separate appendix, please be sure to reference this information in the text. Tables and/or figures one half page or less in length must appear on the same page with text either above or below. If a table and/or figure is larger than one half page, it should be inserted on a single page in appendix. Extra-wide tables or figures can be placed in landscape orientation (broadside) in appendix as well as page number.
The caption of a table and its corresponding number must be typed above the table in bold 13 pt font without indent separated from each other by a dash (no dots after number) aligned with the left-hand margin (appendix M).
Show full grid lines within the actual table. Note with references on source where table was taken is placed after the table edgewise in 12 pt with indent.
If a table is continued onto another page, repeat the table number, title, and table header row with a comment on the left above the table in bold 13 pt: «Table 2.3 continued» (if this table will still continue on the next page) or «Table 5 ended» (if this table will end on the current page).

1) Preliminary data.
If some data is missing put a dash in a table.
The caption of a figure and its corresponding number must be typed below the figure in bold 13 pt separated from each other by a dash (no dots after number) aligned with the centered margin (appendix M). The figure caption must appear on the same page as the figure; the figure may be reduced to accommodate the caption but still must be readable.
