Multiple-image figures
If a figure is broken down into separate images (example Figure 1a - 1d) and those images share the same caption, then capture the images as separate graphic elements within one figure element.
If a figure is made up of several separate images, and there is a single caption for these all of the images, capture the images as separate graphic elements within one figure element.

If a figure is made up of several separate images, and each image contains a label or caption, as well as a single caption for all four images, capture each image as a separate figure within one figureGroup. Capture each image per the Core instructions for figures. Capture the single caption that relates to all of the images as the caption of the figureGroup.
