Figure style

The Figure tab controls how the plate looks, both on screen and in every export.

Section	Options
Project	Experiment name (shown in the title bar and used for export file names)
Wells	Shape (round / square), size, spacing, label size
Text & legend	Font, font size, show title / row & column headers / legend, legend on the right or at the bottom
Colors	Background (or transparent), plate body, empty well, outline

Dragging a slider merges into one undo step, so the History isn't flooded.

Round wells, legend on the right.

Square wells, legend at the bottom, ring layer off.

Tips for publication figures

• Use Arial or Helvetica; most journals ask for these.
• Set the font size to 8–10 pt at the final print size. Export SVG or PDF and scale in Illustrator or Inkscape if needed.
• Turn on Transparent background for PNGs placed on colored slides.
• Square wells pack tighter for 384- and 1536-well plates.

Zoom (status bar) only changes the view on screen. Well size changes the actual figure.
