🎨 **Generate publication-quality scientific figures using AI models**

This tool uses a sophisticated two-step workflow to create NeurIPS/ICLR-style scientific figures from your research text:
1. **GPT-5** analyzes your scientific text and generates a structured MODULE LIST
2. **Gemini-2.5-flash-image** (nano banana) creates a professional figure based on the MODULE LIST

## ✨ Features

- 🤖 **Integrated AI Workflow**: GPT-5 analysis guides nano banana for optimal results
- 📊 **Publication-Ready**: Generates clean, NeurIPS-style scientific figures
- 🎯 **Structured Approach**: Two-step process ensures logical, accurate visualizations
- 🔧 **Easy Configuration**: Simple `.env` file setup
- 💾 **Automatic Saving**: Saves both MODULE LIST and generated figures
- 🖥️ **CLI Interface**: User-friendly command-line tool

## 🚀 Quick Start

### 1. Installation

```bash
# Clone the repository
git clone git@github.com:hengzzzhou/FigForge.git
cd FigForge

# Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt
```

### 2. Configuration

Create a `.env` file from the template:

```bash
cp .env.example .env
```

Edit `.env` and add your API credentials:

**Option 1: OpenAI-Compatible API** (default, for relay endpoints)
```env
API_TYPE=openai
OPENAI_BASE_URL=
OPENAI_API_KEY=
ANALYSIS_MODEL=gpt-5
IMAGE_MODEL=gemini-2.5-flash-image
OUTPUT_DIR=outputs
```

**Option 2: Native Google Gemini API**
```env
API_TYPE=gemini
GEMINI_API_KEY=
OPENAI_BASE_URL=
OPENAI_API_KEY=
ANALYSIS_MODEL=gpt-5
IMAGE_MODEL=gemini-2.5-flash-image
OUTPUT_DIR=outputs
```

> **Note**: When using `API_TYPE=gemini`, the MODULE LIST generation still uses the OpenAI-compatible API, but image generation uses the native Google Gemini API.

### 3. Usage

**Generate from a file:**
```bash
python scientific_plotter.py -i examples/sample_input.txt
```

**Generate from text directly:**
```bash
python scientific_plotter.py -t "Your scientific text describing your model architecture..."
```

**Specify output location:**
```bash
python scientific_plotter.py -i input.txt -o my_awesome_figure.png
```

**Generate MODULE LIST only:**
```bash
python scientific_plotter.py -i input.txt --module-list-only
```

> All figures are generated with clean conference-style design, featuring flat aesthetics, consistent line weights, and professional color palettes.

## 📖 How It Works

### Step 1: MODULE LIST Generation (GPT-5)

The GPT-5 model analyzes your scientific text and creates a structured MODULE LIST that breaks down your architecture into:

1. **Input(s)**: Data sources and preprocessing
2. **Preprocessing/Encoding/Embedding**: Feature extraction layers
3. **Core Architecture/Stages/Blocks**: Main model components in sequence
4. **Special Mechanisms**: Attention, memory, routing, etc.
5. **Output Head**: Final prediction layers

### Step 2: Figure Generation (Gemini-2.5-flash-image)

Using the MODULE LIST as a guide, nano banana generates a clean, professional figure following these design principles:

- ✅ Flat, clean conference style (no gradients, shadows)
- ✅ Consistent thin line weights
- ✅ Professional pastel color palette
- ✅ Rounded rectangles for module blocks
- ✅ Clear arrows indicating data flow
- ✅ Concise labels (no long sentences)
- ✅ Pure white background with clean spacing

|----------|-------------|---------|
| `API_TYPE` | API type for image generation: `openai` or `gemini` | `openai` |
| `OPENAI_BASE_URL` | OpenAI-compatible API endpoint URL | Required |
| `OPENAI_API_KEY` | API key for OpenAI-compatible endpoint | Required |
| `GEMINI_API_KEY` | Google Gemini API key (required when `API_TYPE=gemini`) | - |
| `ANALYSIS_MODEL` | Model for MODULE LIST generation | `gpt-5` |
| `IMAGE_MODEL` | Model for figure generation | `gemini-2.5-flash-image` |
| `OUTPUT_DIR` | Directory for output files | `outputs` |

### Command-Line Options

| Option | Short | Description |
|--------|-------|-------------|
| `--input FILE` | `-i` | Path to input text file |

## 🔍 Tips for Best Results

1. **Provide Clear Text**: The more detailed and structured your input text, the better the MODULE LIST
2. **Describe Flow**: Explicitly mention data flow and connections between components
3. **Specify Components**: Name specific layers, blocks, or mechanisms in your architecture
4. **Review MODULE LIST**: Check the generated MODULE LIST before proceeding to figure generation
5. **Iterate**: You can regenerate figures with modified MODULE LIST for fine-tuning

## 🐛 Troubleshooting

**Problem**: `Error initializing plotter`
- **Solution**: Make sure `.env` file exists and contains valid API credentials

**Problem**: `FileNotFoundError: Prompt template not found`
- **Solution**: Ensure `prompts/` directory exists with both template files

**Problem**: API connection errors
- **Solution**: Verify your `OPENAI_BASE_URL` and `OPENAI_API_KEY` are correct

**Problem**: Image generation fails
- **Solution**: Check that `gemini-2.5-flash-image` model is available on your API endpoint
