 You may be using Matlab to create graphics. Some considerations: You may be using Matlab to create graphics. Some considerations:
  
-  - Save all data or all scripts. Get in the habit of save data as `.mat` files and scripts that will plot the data. This means if you ever need to regenerate pictures, you can do it very easily. +  - Save all data or all scripts. Get in the habit of saving data as ''%%.mat%%'' files.  
- +  - Create scripts that will load in ''%%.mat%%'' files and plot the data. This means if you ever need to regenerate pictures, you can do it very easily. 
-  - Similar to above, you may want to save `.fig` files of the pictures. Again, it allows fine-tuning. (In fact, you can extract raw data from .fig files via scripts if you look into it). +  - Similar to above, you may want to save ''%%.fig%%'' files of the pictures. Again, it allows fine-tuning.

   - Use [[https://uk.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/23629-export_fig|export_fig]] package (Matlab file exchange) to export to pdf format. In general, output to PDF format unless the image is very detail-heavy (surface plots, contour plots, etc.). This ensures that the image is scalable and crisp.    - Use [[https://uk.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/23629-export_fig|export_fig]] package (Matlab file exchange) to export to pdf format.
