I am often confronted with the following situation:
The figure shows that ... vs.
It can be seen from the figure that ...
In writing reports, my superiors do not accept the over-use of the passive voice, whilst I deem it necessary to avoid anthropomorphising inanimate objects, like the figure in the example.
Are there ways to get around this?
