What should accompany diagrams, charts, and graphs in the report?

Diagrams, charts, and graphs become meaningful when they have clear identification that guides the reader. Each visual should have a descriptive title, labeled axes with units, a caption, and a figure number. This setup lets readers instantly understand what the visual shows and the scale or units involved, and it enables precise references in the text like “as shown in Figure 2.” Consistent numbering helps keep multiple visuals organized as you discuss them, so readers can follow along without confusion. This approach also supports smooth navigation through the report; if visuals are unlabeled or omitted, the meaning is lost or hard to verify. Describing visuals only in the abstract misses the opportunity to connect the data directly to the discussion in the main sections, making the visuals less useful.
