AutoFigure-Edit is a figure generation and refinement system for scientific writing and engineering docs. It ingests long-form method text, decomposes concepts and dependencies into nodes and edges, and outputs a losslessly editable SVG vector diagram. Instead of producing a one-off raster image, it treats figures as structured assets: text, shapes, and arrows remain editable objects so refinement does not degrade quality over time. It also works naturally as the next-generation workbench for AutoFigure, turning generated drafts into reusable, maintainable visual templates. For researchers and engineers who need method diagrams, system architecture charts, or pipeline figures fast, it converts layout effort into a controlled, automatable workflow.
| ✕Traditional Pain Points | ✓Innovative Solutions |
|---|---|
| Traditional figure creation depends on manual layout. A single change often forces global realignment, and maintenance cost grows linearly with iterations. | AutoFigure-Edit standardizes the output as losslessly editable SVG object layers so text, arrows, and shapes become traceable, reusable, refinable engineering assets. |
| Many text-to-figure tools only output rasters or semi-structured artifacts. Editing later introduces blur and misalignment, making publication-grade readability hard. | It separates generation from polishing via iterative layout and style refinement: lock structure first, then optimize aesthetics and consistency, reducing structural drift common in one-shot generations. |
