pnasnexus-figures
Use to finalize PNAS Nexus display items — count figures and tables against the graphical-element budget, size to journal column widths, set legible fonts, show-the-data with n and defined error bars, scale bars, colorblind-safe palettes, legend structure, and image integrity (raw, unprocessed images must be retained). Enforces figure rigor before submission.

# Display Items (pnasnexus-figures)
## When to trigger
- Figures and tables push the page / graphical-element budget (`pnasnexus-writing`).
- Fonts are unreadable at print size, or colors are not colorblind-safe.
- Bar charts hide the underlying data (no points, no n).
- Panels are screenshots of software output pasted into the figure.
- You are unsure how figures count against the length limit.
## Figures count toward the page budget
PNAS Nexus measures length in **pages**, and **figures and tables are part of that budget**: a standard 6-page Research Report is described as roughly **4,000 words, 50 references, and 4 medium-size graphical elements**. So every figure/table competes with text for space.
