FigMirror: Ground It, Code It, Plot It

Read the original on arXiv AI →

FigMirror is a new framework that converts scientific figures into executable code, enabling the creation of new plots that preserve the visual style of a reference figure. It achieves this by using Grounded Measurement to locate visual elements via coordinates and measure their properties through code, overcoming limitations of pixel‑level optimization used by prior methods. The authors also introduce PlotTwin‑Bench, a benchmark with fine‑grained code and image‑level style metrics, and demonstrate that FigMirror consistently outperforms existing style‑transfer approaches.

Figures as Programs: Recursive Generation of Editable Scientific Figures

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.
