What is a format of figure captions in APA style?

The number of a figure is located directly above the figure in bold. Entered one double-spaced line below it is the title of the figure in italics. If the figure isn't understandable by looking at it, you can provide additional context in the form of a note below it, double spaced and flush left on the page.

 

For example,

Figure 1
