Vision-language models (VLMs) have shown strong capabilities in generating visualization code from textual or visual specifications. However, real-world visualization authoring is inherently iterative: users frequently revise existing visualizations to repair flawed charts or adapt them to desired styles.
arXiv:2606. 10334v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Code-generating large language models (LLMs) increasingly produce visual artifacts such as charts, web pages, and slides by writing programs that are executed by non-differentiable renderers, committing to code before observing the render.

The paper surveys Multimodal Code Intelligence, focusing on tasks where code is generated, edited, refined, or reasoned about under visually grounded inputs such as screenshots, charts, and videos. It categorizes the field by the role of code—rendered artifact, editable structure, intermediate reasoning trace, or executable tool interface—and organizes benchmarks into four domains: Graphical User Interface, Scientific Visualization, Structured Graphics, and Frontier Tasks and Frameworks. The authors argue that reliable evaluation must include evidence of semantics and interaction beyond visual fidelity, and propose four verification-centered research directions to advance the field toward evidence-grounded executable systems.

IterCAD introduces an iterative program‑repair framework for generating executable parametric CAD code from dimension‑annotated orthographic drawings. Unlike one‑shot vision‑language models, IterCAD repeatedly evaluates the current CAD output, identifies discrepancies with the target views, and decides whether to revise the code or stop refining. The authors build a structured revise‑or‑stop dataset (IterCAD‑RS) and a three‑stage training pipeline—initial generation, revision learning, and multi‑turn reinforcement learning—to enable this progressive correction, achieving higher code executability and geometric fidelity on the CADExpert benchmark.
