## Common Mistakes & Hints for a Good Thesis
### Referencing
- When referring to something, it should be clear what exactly you are referring to. *cleveref* (`\cref{label here}` in the middle of sentences and `\Cref{label here}` at the beginning of a sentence) make it easy.
- For a figure or table, write `Figure 1`, with a capital letter `F` - even in the middle of a sentence.
- Equations are identified by parenthesis (round "brackets", e.g. `(2.1)`) and optionally a label prefix `Eq.` / `Equation` (*cleveref* includes it).
### Graphics
- When referring to a figure, write `Figure 1`, with a capital letter `F` - even in the middle of a sentence. `\autoref{LABEL HERE}` can help you.
- When including drawings, plots, etc., include them as vector graphic (`eps`, `pdf`, ...) if at all possible (and reasonable).
- Exporting a PDF from draw.io is not more complicated than exporting a raster image, but the result looks much better and stays sharp when zoomed in.
- If possible with your plotting toolkit, you can also export your graphic as drawing commands for e.g. *pgf* - then with correct configuration the type face and font size will also match with the rest of the text. *Matplotlib* can do that, see its documentation [here](https://matplotlib.org/stable/users/explain/text/pgf.html). Note: This is typically more work and not strictly necessary.
