PaperBanana

Automated Academic Illustration for AI Scientists

Disclaimer: This is an unofficial, community-driven open-source implementation of the paper "PaperBanana: Automating Academic Illustration for AI Scientists" by Dawei Zhu, Rui Meng, Yale Song, Xiyu Wei, Sujian Li, Tomas Pfister, and Jinsung Yoon (arXiv:2601.23265). This project is not affiliated with or endorsed by the original authors or Google Research. The implementation is based on the publicly available paper and may differ from the original system.

An agentic framework for generating publication-quality academic diagrams and statistical plots from text descriptions. Supports OpenAI (GPT-5.2 + GPT-Image-1.5), Azure OpenAI / Foundry, Google Gemini, and Atlas Cloud providers.

  • Two-phase multi-agent pipeline with iterative refinement

  • Multiple VLM and image generation providers (OpenAI, Azure, Gemini, Atlas Cloud)

  • Input optimization layer for better generation quality

  • Auto-refine mode and run continuation with user feedback

  • CLI, Python API, and MCP server for IDE integration

  • Batch generation from a manifest file (YAML/JSON) for multiple diagrams in one run

  • Batch plots β€” paperbanana plot-batch runs many statistical plots from one manifest (CSV/JSON per item)

  • PDF inputs for methodology context (optional paperbanana[pdf] / PyMuPDF), with per-page selection

  • PaperBanana Studio β€” local Gradio web UI (paperbanana studio) for diagrams, plots, evaluation, batch, and run browser

  • Claude Code skills for /generate-diagram, /generate-plot, and /evaluate-diagram

Atlas Cloud

Atlas Cloud is a full-modal AI inference platform that gives developers a single AI API to access video generation, image generation, and LLM APIs. Instead of managing multiple vendor integrations, you connect once and get unified access to 300+ curated models across all modalities.

Check out Atlas Cloud's new coding plan promotion for more budget-friendly API access: https://www.atlascloud.ai/console/coding-plan

How It Works

PaperBanana implements a multi-agent pipeline with up to 7 specialized agents:

Phase 0 -- Input Optimization (optional, --optimize):

  • Input Optimizer runs two parallel VLM calls:

  • Context Enricher structures raw methodology text into diagram-ready format (components, flows, groupings, I/O)

  • Caption Sharpener transforms vague captions into precise visual specifications

Phase 1 -- Linear Planning:

  • Retriever selects the most relevant reference examples from a curated set of 13 methodology diagrams spanning agent/reasoning, vision/perception, generative/learning, and science/applications domains

  • Planner generates a detailed textual description of the target diagram via in-context learning from the retrieved examples

  • Stylist refines the description for visual aesthetics using NeurIPS-style guidelines (color palette, layout, typography)

Phase 2 -- Iterative Refinement:

  • Visualizer renders the description into an image

  • Critic evaluates the generated image against the source context and provides a revised description addressing any issues

  • Steps 4-5 repeat for a fixed number of iterations (default 3), or until the critic is satisfied (--auto)

Providers

PaperBanana supports multiple VLM and image generation providers:

Component Provider Model Notes VLM (planning, critique) OpenAI gpt-5.2 Default Image Generation OpenAI gpt-image-1.5 Default VLM Atlas Cloud deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3-0324 OpenAI-compatible chat endpoint Image Generation Atlas Cloud openai/gpt-image-2/text-to-image Async prediction API VLM Google Gemini gemini-2.5-flash Low cost Image Generation Google Gemini gemini-3-pro-image-preview $0.134/image (1K) VLM / Image OpenRouter Any supported model Flexible routing

Azure OpenAI / Foundry endpoints are auto-detected β€” set OPENAI_BASE_URL to your endpoint. Gemini-compatible gateways are also supported β€” set GOOGLE_BASE_URL when needed. Atlas Cloud uses ATLASCLOUD_BASE_URL=https://api.atlascloud.ai/v1 for chat and ATLASCLOUD_IMAGE_BASE_URL=https://api.atlascloud.ai/api/v1 for image generation.

Atlas Cloud official site: https://www.atlascloud.ai/?utm_source=github&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=paperbanana

Recommended Atlas LLM models for ATLASCLOUD_VLM_MODEL:

  • deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3-0324 (default)

  • openai/gpt-4o

  • openai/gpt-4.1

  • google/gemini-2.5-flash

  • anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.5-20250929

These are stable, generally available models verified against the Atlas Cloud API. The full, always-current model pool (300+ models) is documented on Atlas Cloud's own docs β€” see https://www.atlascloud.ai/models β€” and any model id listed there can be passed via ATLASCLOUD_VLM_MODEL.

Recommended Atlas image models for ATLASCLOUD_IMAGE_MODEL:

  • openai/gpt-image-2/text-to-image

  • openai/gpt-image-2/edit

  • baidu/ERNIE-Image-Turbo/text-to-image

  • black-forest-labs/flux-dev

  • black-forest-labs/flux-schnell

  • qwen/qwen-image

CLI Reference

paperbanana generate -- Methodology Diagrams

Copy & paste β€” that's it
# Basic generation

Flag Short Description --input -i Path to methodology text file or PDF (required for new runs) --caption -c Figure caption / communicative intent (required for new runs) --image Reference/sketch image (hand-drawn sketch, whiteboard photo, prior figure) that guides the Planner. Repeatable for multiple images --output -o Output image path (default: auto-generated in outputs/) --iterations -n Number of Visualizer-Critic refinement rounds (default: 3) --num-candidates -k Generate N candidate images in parallel, 1-8 (default: 1). Planning runs once; refinement fans out per candidate with seed offsets. Outputs land in candidates/cand_<i>/; the run-root final_output is candidate 1. Cost estimates and --budget account for the fan-out --auto Loop until critic is satisfied (with --max-iterations safety cap) --max-iterations Safety cap for --auto mode (default: 30) --optimize Preprocess inputs with parallel context enrichment and caption sharpening --continue Continue from the latest run in outputs/ --continue-run Continue from a specific run ID --feedback User feedback for the critic when continuing a run --pdf-pages PDF input only: 1-based pages (e.g. 1-5, 2,4,6-8; default: all) --vlm-provider VLM provider name (default: openai) --vlm-model VLM model name (default: gpt-5.2) --image-provider Image gen provider (default: openai_imagen) --image-model Image gen model (default: gpt-image-1.5) --format -f Output format: png, jpeg, or webp (default: png) --config Path to YAML config file (see configs/config.yaml) --verbose -v Show detailed agent progress and timing --progress-json Emit JSON progress events to stdout during generation

paperbanana plot -- Statistical Plots

Copy & paste β€” that's it
paperbanana plot \
 --data results.csv \
 --intent "Bar chart comparing model accuracy across benchmarks"

Flag Short Description --data -d Path to data file, CSV or JSON (required) --intent Communicative intent for the plot (required) --output -o Output image path --iterations -n Refinement iterations (default: 3) --vlm-provider VLM provider name --vlm-model VLM model name

Plots are rendered via VLM-generated matplotlib code β€” no image-generation provider or credentials are required.

paperbanana venues -- Custom Venue Style Packs

--venue selects a venue style pack : a directory with methodology_style_guide.md, plot_style_guide.md, and an optional venue.yaml. Built-in packs (neurips, icml, acl, ieee) ship with PaperBanana; you can add your own under ~/.config/paperbanana/venues/ (override with --venue-dir or PAPERBANANA_VENUE_DIR) without touching the repo:

Copy & paste β€” that's it
# 1. Scaffold a pack (seeds both guides from the NeurIPS templates)
paperbanana venues init mylab

# 2. Edit the style guides β€” or generate them from a corpus of example figures:
# paperbanana guidelines synthesize --reference-set ./examples \
# --output ~/.config/paperbanana/venues/mylab/methodology_style_guide.md

# 3. Use it anywhere --venue is accepted
paperbanana generate --input method.txt --caption "Overview" --venue mylab

# See everything that's available (built-in + user, with source)
paperbanana venues list

venue.yaml (all fields optional):

Copy & paste β€” that's it
display_name: "My Lab Style" # shown by `paperbanana venues list`
aspect_ratio: "16:9" # default --aspect-ratio for this venue's runs
fonts: # preferred fonts, appended to the style guides
 - "Helvetica"

On a name clash, built-in packs win β€” user packs cannot shadow built-in venues. Unknown venue names fail fast with the list of available packs from both sources.

paperbanana batch -- Batch Generation

Generate multiple methodology diagrams from a single manifest file (YAML or JSON). Each item runs the full pipeline; outputs are written under outputs/batch_<id>/run_<id>/ and a batch_report.json summarizes all runs.

Copy & paste β€” that's it
paperbanana batch --manifest examples/batch_manifest.yaml --optimize

Manifest format (YAML or JSON with an items list):

Copy & paste β€” that's it
items:
 - input: path/to/method1.txt
 caption: "Overview of our encoder-decoder"
 id: fig1
 - input: method2.txt
 caption: "Training pipeline"
 id: fig2
 - input: paper.pdf
 caption: "System overview"
 id: fig3
 pdf_pages: "4-9" # optional; PDF inputs only

Paths in the manifest are resolved relative to the manifest file's directory.

Composite figures: Add an optional composite section to automatically stitch all generated panels into a single labeled figure after the batch completes:

Copy & paste β€” that's it
composite:
 layout: "1x3" # rows x cols, or "auto"
 labels: auto # (a), (b), (c)... or explicit list, or null
 spacing: 20 # pixels between panels
 label_position: bottom # top or bottom
 output: "composite.png"

items:
 - input: method_encoder.txt
 caption: "Encoder architecture"
 id: panel_a
 # ...

The composite image is saved alongside the individual panels in the batch output directory. See examples/composite_batch_manifest.yaml for a complete example.

Generate a human-readable report from an existing batch run (Markdown or HTML):

Copy & paste β€” that's it
paperbanana batch-report --batch-dir outputs/batch_20250109_123456_abc --format markdown
# or by batch ID (under default output dir)
paperbanana batch-report --batch-id batch_20250109_123456_abc --format html --output report.html

Diagram batch reports include batch_kind: methodology; plot batches use batch_kind: statistical_plot. Human-readable reports (paperbanana batch-report) show the batch kind when present.

Sweep manifests let you store the full sweep plan as YAML/JSON instead of eight comma-separated CLI flags. Mutually exclusive with the axis flags; see examples/sweep_manifest.yaml.

Copy & paste β€” that's it
paperbanana sweep --manifest examples/sweep_manifest.yaml

Sweep reports produced by paperbanana sweep can be rendered the same way:

Copy & paste β€” that's it
paperbanana sweep-report --sweep-dir outputs/sweep_20250109_123456_abc --format html
# or by sweep ID
paperbanana sweep-report --sweep-id sweep_20250109_123456_abc --format markdown

Rendered sweep reports include a summary, a top-5 ranked table, the full variants table (with per-variant provider/model, iterations, critic-suggestion count, proxy score, and output path), and the quality_proxy_score note. Dry-run reports render a simplified "Planned Variants" section.

Flag Short Description --manifest -m Path to manifest file (required) --output-dir -o Parent directory for batch run (default: outputs) --config Path to config YAML --iterations -n Refinement iterations per item --optimize Preprocess inputs for each item --auto Loop until critic satisfied per item --format -f Output image format (png, jpeg, webp) --auto-download-data Auto-download the PaperBananaBench reference set (~254 MB) if not cached

paperbanana plot-batch -- Batch Statistical Plots

Generate multiple plots from a manifest (YAML or JSON). Each item specifies a data file (CSV or JSON) and an intent string, mirroring paperbanana plot. Outputs live under outputs/batch_<id>/run_<id>/ with the same batch_report.json and paperbanana batch-report workflow as diagram batches.

Copy & paste β€” that's it
paperbanana plot-batch --manifest examples/plot_batch_manifest.yaml --optimize

Manifest format (items list):

Copy & paste β€” that's it
items:
 - data: path/to/results.csv
 intent: "Bar chart comparing accuracy across models"
 id: fig_acc
 - data: other.json
 intent: "Scatter plot with trend line"
 aspect_ratio: "16:9" # optional per item; CLI --aspect-ratio is the default when omitted

Paths are resolved relative to the manifest file’s directory.

Flag Short Description --manifest -m Path to manifest (required) --output-dir -o Parent directory for batch_* (default: outputs) --config Path to config YAML --vlm-provider VLM provider (default: gemini) --vlm-model VLM model override --image-provider Image gen provider --image-model Image gen model --iterations -n Refinement iterations per item --auto Loop until critic satisfied per item --max-iterations Safety cap for --auto --optimize Input optimization per item --format -f png, jpeg, or webp --save-prompts / --no-save-prompts Persist prompts (default: on, same as plot) --venue Venue style pack: built-in (neurips, icml, acl, ieee), a user pack, or custom --aspect-ratio -ar Default aspect ratio when not set in the manifest --verbose -v Verbose logging

paperbanana orchestrate -- Full-Paper Figure Package

Generate a publication-focused figure bundle from a full paper source, with optional data-driven plots. The command:

  • parses the paper (.txt, .md, or .pdf)

  • plans multiple methodology figures from section structure

  • optionally discovers CSV/JSON files to plan statistical plots

  • runs generation for all planned items

  • writes a package folder containing figure_package.json, figures/, figures.tex, and captions.md

Copy & paste β€” that's it
paperbanana orchestrate \
 --paper paper.pdf \
 --data-dir ./results \
 --max-method-figures 4 \
 --max-plot-figures 3 \
 --optimize

Use --dry-run to only plan and inspect orchestration_plan.json without API calls. Use --resume-orchestrate <id-or-path> to continue an interrupted orchestration from checkpoint state.

Flag Description --paper / -p Paper source path (.txt, .md, or .pdf) --resume-orchestrate Resume an existing orchestration by ID or directory --retry-failed When resuming, include previously failed tasks --max-retries Extra retries per task after first failure --data-dir Optional directory containing CSV/JSON files for plot planning --output-dir / -o Parent output directory (creates orchestrate_*) --max-method-figures Max methodology figures to plan/generate --max-plot-figures Max plot figures to plan/generate --pdf-pages PDF-only page selection (e.g. 1-5, 2,4,6-8) --optimize Enable input optimization for generated items --iterations / -n Refinement iterations per generated item --auto + --max-iterations Critic-driven auto-refine mode with safety cap --concurrency Parallel figure generation workers --format / -f Output format (png, jpeg, webp) --dry-run Plan package only; no generation calls

paperbanana composite -- Compose Multi-Panel Figures

Stitch multiple images into a single labeled figure with (a), (b), (c) sub-panel labels:

Copy & paste β€” that's it
paperbanana composite \
 panel_a.png panel_b.png panel_c.png \
 --layout 1x3 \
 --output figure2.png

Flag Short Description IMAGES Positional: paths to images to compose --layout -l Grid layout: RxC (e.g. 1x3, 2x2) or auto (default: auto) --labels Comma-separated labels, or none to disable (default: auto (a),(b),...) --spacing -s Pixel spacing between panels (default: 20) --label-position top or bottom (default: bottom) --label-font-size Font size for labels (default: 32) --output -o Output path (default: composite_output.png)

This command works on any existing images β€” no API calls needed. It is also triggered automatically when a batch manifest includes a composite section (see paperbanana batch above).

paperbanana evaluate -- Quality Assessment

Comparative evaluation of a generated diagram against a human reference using VLM-as-a-Judge:

Copy & paste β€” that's it
paperbanana evaluate \
 --generated diagram.png \
 --reference human_diagram.png \
 --context method.txt \
 --caption "Overview of our framework"

Flag Short Description --generated -g Path to generated image (required) --reference -r Path to human reference image (required) --context Path to source context text file or PDF (required) --caption -c Figure caption (required) --pdf-pages PDF context only: 1-based page selection (default: all)

Scores on 4 dimensions (hierarchical aggregation per the paper):

  • Primary: Faithfulness, Readability

  • Secondary: Conciseness, Aesthetics

paperbanana polish -- Refine an Existing Figure

Bring your own figure: a VLM audits it against the venue style guide and proposes up to 10 concrete, actionable improvements, then an image-edit capable provider applies them to the original figure (guided edit). Suggestions are printed to the console so you can see exactly what changed.

Copy & paste β€” that's it
paperbanana polish --input figure.png
paperbanana polish --input figure.png --venue icml --iterations 2 --output polished.png

Flag Short Description --input -i Path to the existing figure image (required) --output -o Output path (default: outputs/polish_<timestamp>/final_output.png) --venue Venue style guide: neurips (default), icml, acl, ieee, custom --iterations -n Polish rounds; each round suggests and applies improvements on the previous result (default: 1) --aspect-ratio -ar Target aspect ratio (default: preserve the input figure's ratio) --num-candidates -k Apply each round's suggestions N times in parallel (1-8) --budget Budget cap in USD; polishing stops gracefully when exceeded --seed Random seed for reproducible edits

Requires an image provider that supports guided image edits (Google Gemini image models). If the figure already conforms to the style guide, polish exits without making changes.

paperbanana studio -- Local web UI

Requires pip install 'paperbanana[studio]' (Gradio).

Copy & paste β€” that's it
paperbanana studio
paperbanana studio --port 8080 --output-dir ./my_outputs

Flag Description --host Bind address (default 127.0.0.1) --port Port (default 7860) --share Create a temporary public Gradio link (do not use with sensitive data) --config Path to YAML config --output-dir / -o Default output directory for runs --root-path URL subpath when behind a reverse proxy

paperbanana setup -- First-Time Configuration

Copy & paste β€” that's it
paperbanana setup

Interactive wizard that first asks whether to use the official Gemini API. If you choose official API, it follows the default AI Studio key flow; if not, it asks for a custom Gemini-compatible URL and API key.

paperbanana data -- Reference Dataset

Copy & paste β€” that's it
# Download the PaperBananaBench reference set (~254 MB, one command)
paperbanana data download

# Import plot references too (or both)
paperbanana data download --task plot
paperbanana data download --task both

# Inspect / clear the cache
paperbanana data info
paperbanana data clear

The dataset is served from a project-hosted GitHub release mirror (bench-data-v1) and its SHA256 checksum is verified before extraction. Credit to the PaperBananaBench authors β€” the mirror tracks their 2026-03-22 revision. The set is cached under ~/.cache/paperbanana/ (override with PAPERBANANA_CACHE_DIR); generation commands can also fetch it on first use via --auto-download-data.

Python API

Copy & paste β€” that's it
import asyncio
from paperbanana import PaperBananaPipeline, GenerationInput, DiagramType
from paperbanana.core.config import Settings

settings = Settings(
 vlm_provider="openai",
 vlm_model="gpt-5.2",
 image_provider="openai_imagen",
 image_model="gpt-image-1.5",
 optimize_inputs=True, # Enable input optimization
 auto_refine=True, # Loop until critic is satisfied
)

pipeline = PaperBananaPipeline(settings=settings)

result = asyncio.run(pipeline.generate(
 GenerationInput(
 source_context="Our framework consists of...",
 communicative_intent="Overview of the proposed method.",
 diagram_type=DiagramType.METHODOLOGY,
 )
))

print(f"Output: {result.image_path}")

Progress callbacks: generate() and continue_run() accept an optional progress_callback argument. The pipeline invokes it with PipelineProgressEvent objects (stage, message, seconds, iteration, extra) at each step (optimizer, retriever, planner, stylist, visualizer, critic), so you can show progress in UIs or log timing without patching agents.

To continue a previous run:

Copy & paste β€” that's it
from paperbanana.core.resume import load_resume_state

state = load_resume_state("outputs", "run_20260218_125448_e7b876")
result = asyncio.run(pipeline.continue_run(
 resume_state=state,
 additional_iterations=3,
 user_feedback="Make the encoder block more prominent",
))

See examples/generate_diagram.py and examples/generate_plot.py for complete working examples.

MCP Server

PaperBanana includes an MCP server for use with Claude Code, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client. Add the following config to use it via uvx without a local clone:

Copy & paste β€” that's it
{
 "mcpServers": {
 "paperbanana": {
 "command": "uvx",
 "args": ["--from", "paperbanana[mcp]", "paperbanana-mcp"],
 "env": { "GOOGLE_API_KEY": "your-google-api-key" }
 }
 }
}

Eleven MCP tools are exposed: generate_diagram, generate_plot, continue_run (resume a prior run_* with optional feedback), continue_diagram, continue_plot, evaluate_diagram, evaluate_plot, orchestrate_figures (full-paper figure packages), batch_diagrams, batch_plots, and download_references.

The repo also ships with 3 Claude Code skills:

  • /generate-diagram <file> [caption] - generate a methodology diagram from a text file

  • /generate-plot <data-file> [intent] - generate a statistical plot from CSV/JSON data

  • /evaluate-diagram <generated> <reference> - evaluate a diagram against a human reference

See mcp_server/README.md for full setup details (Claude Code, Cursor, local development).

Overleaf Integration (GitHub Action)

Keep your paper's methodology figure in sync with the text β€” automatically. PaperBanana ships a GitHub Action that pairs with Overleaf's built-in GitHub sync: push your .tex changes, the action extracts the methodology section, generates the figure, and commits back the image plus a ready-to-\input LaTeX snippet. Pull in Overleaf and it's in your file tree.
