Reader flow is not a problem, if the figure+caption is used to make a point, which can be skipped for flow. Example from a recent publication [0], where the actual figure is not necessary, so the reader's flow is not broken: > The libFirm API provides serialization and deserialization support for the intermediate representation graphs. As can be seen in Figure 3, it is therefore possible to compile the C part of the standard library with cparser, stop before actual code generation and instead export the intermediate representation to a file. I believe most readers (e.g. me) look the figures first, so I want the figures to be comprehensible on their own.
