## How to find Figure 1 layout references for a paper with Topconf Paper Figure Gallery

Repo: [qwdwqfwq/topconf-paper-figure-gallery](https://github.com/qwdwqfwq/topconf-paper-figure-gallery) | Difficulty: Beginner | Time: 15 minutes | Basis: From the README

Browse and filter top-conference teaser figures to pick layouts for your own Figure 1.

**Who it is for:** A researcher preparing a submission who needs to see how accepted papers in the same area lay out their main figure.

**The problem:** Blank-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 outcome:** A short shortlist of reference figures, each linked to its source paper, tagged by visual pattern and venue.

### Steps

1. Open the live gallery at https://qwdwqfwq.github.io/topconf-paper-figure-gallery/
2. Type a keyword from your topic into the search box, for example `agent` or `robot`, to search titles and authors
3. Filter by venue, year, acceptance tier and visual pattern such as `framework` or `pipeline`
4. Click a figure to open the lightbox, then follow its link to the source paper
5. Save the links of three to five figures that match your method type

### Prompt to paste into your agent

```text
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.

## How to draft a Figure 1 from your paper with FigureForge with Topconf Paper Figure Gallery

Repo: [qwdwqfwq/topconf-paper-figure-gallery](https://github.com/qwdwqfwq/topconf-paper-figure-gallery) | Difficulty: Intermediate | Time: 30 minutes | Basis: From the README

Generate a first Figure 1 draft in the browser, grounded in gallery figures, using your own API key.

**Who it is for:** An author with a paper summary ready who needs an editable first draft of the main figure before a deadline.

**The problem:** A generic chatbot prompt returns a generic flowchart that does not follow the panel grid and style of a paper figure.

**The outcome:** An 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.

### Steps

1. 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
2. Pick a pattern: `framework`, `pipeline`, `architecture`, `conceptual`, `teaser` or `taxonomy`
3. Tick reference cards that share that pattern; use at least four for two-stage mode
4. Choose SVG mode for editable text or bitmap mode for a publication-style layout, then add your provider API key
5. Run generation and download the draft, then check all text and numbers before submission

### Prompt to paste into your agent

```text
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.

Risk, credentials: Your provider API key is entered in the browser and sent only to the provider you select, so use a key you can revoke and avoid pasting it into shared machines.

## How to run the figure gallery on your own machine with Topconf Paper Figure Gallery

Repo: [qwdwqfwq/topconf-paper-figure-gallery](https://github.com/qwdwqfwq/topconf-paper-figure-gallery) | Difficulty: Beginner | Time: 15 minutes | Basis: From the README

Clone the repo and serve the static gallery locally, with no backend or build step.

**Who it is for:** A developer or lab member who wants a private, offline copy of the gallery for reference or a teaching session.

**The problem:** The live site may be unavailable or you may want to browse without a network connection.

**The outcome:** A local copy of the gallery that opens in a browser at localhost, with data inlined so it can also be opened from disk.

### Steps

1. Run `git clone https://github.com/qwdwqfwq/topconf-paper-figure-gallery.git`
2. Run `cd topconf-paper-figure-gallery`
3. Run `python -m http.server 8000`
4. Open http://localhost:8000 in your browser
5. Alternatively, double-click `index.html`, since the data is inlined in `assets/figures.js`

### Prompt to paste into your agent

```text
Clone https://github.com/qwdwqfwq/topconf-paper-figure-gallery.git, start a static server on port 8000 from the repo folder, and confirm that http://localhost:8000 returns the gallery page. Report the URL and the number of figures shown on the page.
```

### Caveat

The images belong to their authors and publishers, so keep the local copy for educational use and follow the image policy in IMAGES_POLICY.md.

## How to suggest a missing paper for the gallery with Topconf Paper Figure Gallery

Repo: [qwdwqfwq/topconf-paper-figure-gallery](https://github.com/qwdwqfwq/topconf-paper-figure-gallery) | Difficulty: Beginner | Time: 15 minutes | Basis: From the README

Open an issue with a paper link so maintainers can add its Figure 1 to the gallery.

**Who it is for:** A researcher who notices a strong top-conference paper, or a venue such as CHI or CoRL, that is not in the gallery.

**The problem:** The gallery only covers the venues and papers that have been added so far, and a useful Figure 1 may be missing.

**The outcome:** A filed suggestion in the repo issue tracker that names the paper and link, ready for the maintainers to review.

### Steps

1. Open the Suggest a figure issue form at https://github.com/qwdwqfwq/topconf-paper-figure-gallery/issues/new?template=add-figure-request.md
2. Enter the paper title and the link to the paper
3. Describe which visual pattern you think the figure shows, if you know
4. Submit the issue and wait for maintainer review
5. For a code contribution instead, read CONTRIBUTING.md for the metadata format and quality bar

### Prompt to paste into your agent

```text
Draft a Suggest a figure issue for the repo qwdwqfwq/topconf-paper-figure-gallery for the paper <paper title and URL>. Include the title, the paper link and the likely visual pattern. Verify that the paper is from one of the listed venues or is a new venue the README welcomes before submitting.
```

### Caveat

The README says the gallery is refreshed yearly with new proceedings, so a suggestion may take time to appear, and maintainers decide what is added.

## How to rebuild the figure dataset with the curation pipeline with Topconf Paper Figure Gallery

Repo: [qwdwqfwq/topconf-paper-figure-gallery](https://github.com/qwdwqfwq/topconf-paper-figure-gallery) | Difficulty: Advanced | Time: 2 hours | Basis: From the README

Run the documented scripts to regenerate the gallery data from proceedings and PDFs.

**Who it is for:** A maintainer or research engineer who wants to extend the dataset to new venues or check how the gallery was built.

**The problem:** Adding a new conference or auditing the selection rules requires running the full pipeline from proceedings index to manual review.

**The outcome:** A regenerated figures.json and figures.js built from a candidate pool, following the documented pipeline order.

### Steps

1. Run `pip install -r requirements.txt`
2. Run `python scripts/build_pool.py` to build the ICLR, ICML and NeurIPS candidate pool
3. Run `python scripts/extract_all.py` to download PDFs and crop Figure 1, then `python scripts/score_select.py 980` to score and select
4. Run `python scripts/assemble_gallery.py 1000` to generate figures.json and figures.js
5. Run `python scripts/enum_sheets.py iclr` and review the contact sheets page by page, as docs/METHODOLOGY.md describes

### Prompt to paste into your agent

```text
In a clone of qwdwqfwq/topconf-paper-figure-gallery, install requirements and run the build_pool, extract_all and score_select scripts in that order for a dry run on <venue>. Expected output: a selection count printed by score_select. Verify the count is non-zero and that no figure is copied from the gallery without its source link.
```

### Caveat

The pipeline downloads publisher PDFs, and the README says the images belong to their authors and publishers, so check the image policy before publishing any output.
