How to Make a Figure
Here we introduce how to make figures, such as a illustrative figure in introduction, system overview, and evaluation diagrams.
Note that every figure should be infomative. A figure that shows very limited info is not a good figure.
Figure Types
CDF, Boxplot, Flowchart, System Architechure, Framwork,
Illustrive Figure
In Introduction or Motivation, we might need some illustrative figures to show some information.
Figure Size and Font Size
For two coloum paper, figsize=(8,6) and fontsize=16 is reasonable setting.
