Description
Covers publication-ready matplotlib figures for academic papers, slides, and reports—bars, trends, scatter, heatmaps, and multi-panel layouts—with this repository’s house style, print/vector export conventions, and parity with figures4papers demos. Use when the user is finalizing or creating such figures in matplotlib. Do not use for interactive dashboards or web viz (Plotly, Altair, Bokeh), exploratory-only plots without a publication target, dominant 3D or geographic mapping, or Illustrator/Figma-first infographic workflows.

View allAcademic Poster Generator
Transform an academic research paper PDF into a single portrait academic poster image end-to-end. AI adaptively determines visual style, information density, and color scheme, identifies the paper's "distinctive anchors" and presents them prominently, redraws diagrams, preserves original data charts, recreates evidence visuals (UI screenshots/chat screenshots) as high-fidelity mockups when extraction fails, filters out informal publication markers like preprint pagination, and generates a print-ready high-quality poster.
