Who it is forAn author with a paper summary ready who needs an editable first draft of the main figure before a deadline.
The problemA generic chatbot prompt returns a generic flowchart that does not follow the panel grid and style of a paper figure.
The outcomeAn SVG or bitmap Figure 1 draft built from the layout of selected reference figures, ready to edit and check in PowerPoint, Figma or draw.io.
What you need first
- A modern web browser
- Git and Python 3 if you want to run the gallery locally
- An API key from a model provider you choose, only for FigureForge generation
- The title and abstract of your paper, or one sentence describing its input, method and output
Steps
- Open FigureForge at https://qwdwqfwq.github.io/topconf-paper-figure-gallery/forge and paste your title and abstract, or type one sentence giving the input, method and output
- Pick a pattern:
framework,pipeline,architecture,conceptual,teaserortaxonomy - Tick reference cards that share that pattern; use at least four for two-stage mode
- Choose SVG mode for editable text or bitmap mode for a publication-style layout, then add your provider API key
- Run generation and download the draft, then check all text and numbers before submission
Prompt for your agent
Open the FigureForge page of the repo at https://qwdwqfwq.github.io/topconf-paper-figure-gallery/forge for the paper <paper title and abstract>, pattern <pattern>, and mode <svg or bitmap>. Expected output: one downloaded Figure 1 draft file. Verify that every label and number in the draft matches the abstract before reporting success.
Caveat. FigureForge produces a high-quality first draft for the Figure 1 genre only, and the README says text and numbers still need manual checking before submission.
