TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
If you're referring back to specific figures at multiple places in the
text, you'll have to use plan #1. If a figure is referenced once (and -only-)
once, and you can keep it on the same page as the text reference, you can
get away with plan #2. (I've found that this most likely happens in books
done to the Information Mapping (TM) format)
