What are the Instructions to graphics authors.

The following might be useful to provide collaborators or others who are supplying you with graphics, as a way of telling them how to supply graphics in a compatible form

• Supply Encapsulated Postscript, without preview, in portrait orientation.
• Ensure the margin is minimal, the edges of the media surround the graphic snuggly.
• Don't use print-to-fit settings.
• Don't convert vector drawn figures to bitmap
• Don't scan monochrome line drawings as black/white (two color); use gray-scale.
• Don't supply figures that have been through Powerpoint unless unavoidable. Please use the original, prior to being imported into Powerpoint.
• For vector drawn figures, export as PDF and EPS and supply both.
• Supply (the original) JPEG for photographs if available.
• Transfer EPS files using ASCII (plain text) ftp settings.
