arXiv:2607. 15272v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Editing the figures in a research paper is a routine and time-consuming part of everyday research practice: authors relabel components, rearrange panels, and restyle visuals as they revise their manuscripts.
arXiv:2609.01409v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Vision-language models (VLMs) have shown strong performance in generating scientific figures from text or images. However, producing publication-ready...

arXiv:2608. 05478v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Graphical Abstracts (GAs) visually summarize the key findings of academic papers, playing a crucial role in facilitating the understanding of research content.
The paper introduces “FigTree”, a multi-agent system that automatically converts a scientific paper into a structured vector figure by recursively constructing SVG programs. It decomposes figures into hierarchical regions, generates each region as a short SVG program, and assembles them, using a render‑critic refinement loop to trace and repair visual defects. Evaluations show that “FigTree” produces high‑quality figures and allows more effective editing than raster‑based methods.
Scientific methodology figures are essential for communicating complex methods clearly, yet creating them remains labor-intensive and typically requires multiple rounds of refinement. Recent image-gen...
ReFigBench is a benchmark that evaluates how well multimodal coding agents can transform scientific overview figures into editable PowerPoint slides, preserving text, layout, and document structure. The study uses 1,000 real figures from arXiv, testing agents from four model families across two workflows—direct code generation and a specialized PPTX workflow—within ten different harness configurations. Evaluation combines deterministic artifact checks, automated scoring by judges, and blinded human comparisons, revealing that workflow and harness choices significantly affect reconstruction quality and that even the best agents fall short of the ideal rubric.
arXiv:2606. 08016v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Current image editing software often hinges on fixed filters or expert tuning, leaving a gap between amateur users' intent and outcomes.
arXiv:2607.02290v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Recent image generation and editing models can produce visually appealing natural images, yet they remain unreliable when the target image is a kno...
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. 28406v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Text-to-image and multimodal generative models are increasingly used to produce scientific figures such as mechanism diagrams, experimental-design schematics, conceptual frameworks, and graphical abstracts.
PaperBanana-Interact is a multi-agent system designed to refine scientific diagrams through multi-turn human feedback. The authors introduce MTPaperBananaBench, a benchmark with 292 images and 3,518 user requirements, and a user simulator that generates natural language feedback at each turn. Experiments show that PaperBanana-Interact consistently improves diagram quality, outperforming baseline systems by 11.9–18.6 points and reducing forgetting by 3.7–6.2 points.
