Yesterday in class we created a multipanel figure for leafminer activity. I am going to go about trying to outline the process I undertook to create my mulitpanel figure in preparation for my final draft. I am going to skip the part about collecting the photos for the speciman because that seems pretty straightforward to me thus far.
Open "Inkplot" Don't worry about the size of the page in the center. Ignore it for now. We will adjust the size later. Go to file and import your pictures. You can zoom in by hitting the magnifying glass and zoom out by hitting the shift key and the magnifying glass. Hit lock icon. This prevents you from distorting the image when resizing it, I think. This is hard to do without the software or the lecture recorded. I should have taken notes or something. You can type in the size you want the images to be, if I remember correctly. Adjust the pictures to the sizes you want and arrange them. Okay, this isn't exactly MY process but this will help me to go over this again. Once you have the pictures arranged the way that you want them to be, you can go on to use the text tool. Use the font that looks neat and doesn't have serif. Label each photo. You can create the proper spacing by hitting the shift and arrow keys. Once everything is the way you want it, you can select all the elements of your multipanel figure and use group to make it one unit.
