LiveFigure: Generating Editable Scientific Illustration with VLM Agents

Researchers introduced LiveFigure, a VLM-agent framework for generating fully editable scientific illustrations.

It mimics how humans make figures: planning layout, writing scripts, and iteratively refining vector outputs from references.

The system is designed to produce publication-ready figures that can be manually edited, not just raster images.

Results show strong publication-readiness and user preference versus a leading baseline.
