The paper investigates how large language models (LLMs) interpret ambiguous or incomplete text prompts for visualization authoring and introduces visual prompts as a complementary modality to improve precision. An empirical study informs the design of VisPilot, a system that allows users to create visualizations using text, sketches, and direct manipulation. A controlled user study and expert evaluation show that multimodal prompts help users convey spatial constraints, local references, and design preferences while maintaining task efficiency comparable to text-only prompting.

Automatic data visualization generation has advanced rapidly with multi-modal large language models, yet existing efforts largely focus on static charts and overlook the interactive dashboards commonly used for real-world data exploration. We introduce Dashboard2Code, a novel task that requires a model to proactively explore an interactive dashboard, acquire and integrate feedback from its own interactions (e.
