For example, in astronomy, a lot of people will 'publish' their paper to Arxiv before it is accepted into a journal. Arxiv is accessible by the general public and a little digging around will reveal that you can download the actual Latex source for the paper. This includes all of the figures. I have never heard of anyone getting sued by a journal for posting their stuff on the arxiv.
