Figures as Programs: Recursive Generation of Editable Scientific Figures

Read the original on arXiv AI →

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.

Chart2SVG: Editable SVG Generation from Raster Chart Images

Chart2SVG is a multimodal large language model that transforms static raster chart images into editable SVGs enriched with semantic structure. By embedding chart‑specific semantic tokens into a vision‑language framework and training on the Beagle+ dataset of 33K distilled chart samples, the model captures both geometric primitives and their functional roles. The resulting SVGs are visually accurate and structurally consistent, and the accompanying Chart Structure Graph (CSG) exposes visual dependencies for interactive exploration, chart repurposing, and layout reuse.
