When several figures appear in one presentation, consistent color meanings, viewpoints, and labeling habits matter more than whether any single image looks elaborate. Fix a shared set of expression rules first, then describe the research content of each figure.
1. Decide what each color means
Assign fixed colors to recurring materials, objects, and paths, and keep them consistent across figures. Use only as many colors as needed to distinguish objects; add shapes, line styles, or labels when color alone is not enough.
- Use the same color for a material in the main figure and local inset.
- Give different path types different line styles or legend entries.
- Keep text and background at a strong enough contrast.
2. Fix the layout and viewpoint
For before-and-after or condition comparisons, keep object position, scale, and viewpoint similar. When one research condition changes, do not change every visual element at the same time. The healthy and failed solid-state battery interface case is a useful comparison reference.
- Use consistent aspect ratios and label areas.
- Keep the relative positions of the main figure, inset, and legend fixed.
- Use the same viewpoint and object scale in comparison panels.
3. Reuse one shared style note
Append the shared rules to each figure's content description. If you need reference images, upload them in the workstation; the prompt links on this page prefill text and do not attach reference images automatically.
Use a consistent white background, short English labels, the same viewpoint, and the same legend rules across this figure set. Use teal-green for 【object A】 and magenta-purple for 【object B】; show paths with solid and dashed lines. Keep labels outside the structure and keep leaders clear. Use the same aspect ratio, type hierarchy, and object scale in every figure; follow the content list provided for each individual figure.
4. Check at the actual presentation size
Place the figures side by side in your presentation and check text readability, color meaning, and object scale at the size people will see. When a draft needs revision, describe one target change at a time and preserve the parts that are already correct.
- Does the same color represent the same object in every figure?
- Are labels too long or unreadable after scaling down?
- Do comparison panels share viewpoint, scale, and whitespace?
- Has every figure's structural relationship been checked independently?
