Who it is forA researcher preparing a submission who needs to see how accepted papers in the same area lay out their main figure.
The problemBlank-page Figure 1 design is slow, and it is hard to tell which layout styles top papers use for a given kind of method.
The outcomeA short shortlist of reference figures, each linked to its source paper, tagged by visual pattern and venue.
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 the live gallery at https://qwdwqfwq.github.io/topconf-paper-figure-gallery/
- Type a keyword from your topic into the search box, for example
agentorrobot, to search titles and authors - Filter by venue, year, acceptance tier and visual pattern such as
frameworkorpipeline - Click a figure to open the lightbox, then follow its link to the source paper
- Save the links of three to five figures that match your method type
Prompt for your agent
Using the gallery at https://qwdwqfwq.github.io/topconf-paper-figure-gallery/, find figures tagged <visual pattern> that relate to <paper topic>. Return a list of at most five entries with title, venue, year and source paper link. Verify that each link opens the source paper.
Caveat. The gallery is a design reference, not a paper ranking, and its tier badges come from official lists that the README says may be incomplete for some venues.
