How do I format a figure in APA style?

In APA style, a figure is any visualization of data, such as a graph or illustration, that is not a table. Refer to APA 7, Chapter 7 for more information on formatting figures, or take a look at the Writing Center's webpage on Tables and Figures with examples of how figures should be formatted.
