AMS journals have standard widths for figures in our print journals and online PDFs (see table). In-figure text or other details may affect the final size. For example, AMS may set a figure larger than the standard width to ensure clarity. Alternatively, AMS may set a figure smaller than the standard width if there is less detail or if in-figure text is large. The height of a figure may also affect the final size. Other sizing exceptions exist.
Note that submitted figures may be at larger than the standard widths. This can be beneficial, for example, during the peer review process.
