C. Section Headings • the image used in each figure is clear,
No more than 3 levels of headings should be used. All • all text labels in each figure are legible.
headings must be in 10pt font. Every word in a heading must
be capitalized except for short minor words as listed in Section
III-B.
1) Level-1 Heading: A level-1 heading must be in Small
Caps, centered and numbered using uppercase Roman nu-
merals. For example, see heading “III. Page Style” of this
document. The two level-1 headings which must not be
numbered are “Acknowledgment” and “References”.
2) Level-2 Heading: A level-2 heading must be in Italic,
left-justified and numbered using an uppercase alphabetic
letter followed by a period. For example, see heading “C.
Section Headings” above.
3) Level-3 Heading: A level-3 heading must be indented,
in Italic and numbered with an Arabic numeral followed by a
right parenthesis. The level-3 heading must end with a colon.
The body of the level-3 section immediately follows the level-
3 heading in the same paragraph. For example, this paragraph
begins with a level-3 heading. Fig. 2. Example of an unacceptable low-resolution image

D. Figures and Tables

Figures and tables must be centered in the column. Large
figures and tables may span across both columns. Any table
or figure that takes up more than 1 column width must be
positioned either at the top or at the bottom of the page.
Graphics may be full color. All colors will be retained on the
CDROM. Graphics must not use stipple fill patterns because
they may not be reproduced properly. Please use only SOLID
FILL colors which contrast well both on screen and on a black-
and-white hardcopy, as shown in Fig. 1.
