## Overview

A figure plus its caption should be understandable without reading the
paper — many readers see only these. This skill covers the caption's
job (identify, describe, explain, interpret-with-restraint), the
standard information each caption type needs (n, statistics, symbols,
scale), and the editing that keeps captions complete but tight.

## When to use

- Writing captions for a paper, thesis, poster, or presentation
- Making figures self-contained for skimmers and figure-browsers
- Reporting statistics, sample sizes, and methods in captions correctly
- Standardizing caption style across a multi-author paper
