full version + getting-started: references/quickstart.md) ```text Group comparison → bar/box/violin/raincloud (full trio view; pre-post → paired; distribution shift across groups → ridgeline; two-point per-row gaps → dumbbell) | Mean±error bars → bar (JSON errors) Two-column correlation → scatter | Time-to-event → km / forest --stats cox | Diagnosis → roc (--compare) Set membership → venn (--area; 5+ sets → upset) | Numeric matrix → heatmap / cluster_heatmap | Sample classes → pca Omics differential expression → volcano | Oncology best response → waterfall (RECIST)；per-subject duration → swimmer | Multi-panel → composite ``` Still unsure: `--suggest -d data.json` (auto-recommend), or `--wizard` (guided). **First time?** The full decision tree, a 4-step getting-started, Python API and the top pitfalls live in **`references/quickstart.md`** (standalone getting-started guide). ## Capabilities & Boundaries (read before first run) | Capability | What it does | What it does NOT / boundary | Where to look | |------------|--------------|------------------------------|---------------| | Chart engine | 30 types, one command, 600dpi; byte-deterministic output | No interactive exploration (static files only); no 3-D plots | Chart Types ↑ | | Chart picking | `--suggest` (auto), `--wizard` (guided), `--quick` (auto-pick+render), `--explain TYPE` | Suggestions are structural heuristics — confirm the statistical meaning yourself | quickstart.md | | Stats | KM risk table/log-rank/median CI; Cox (Efron+PH); ROC DeLong; bootstrap CI; Egger | No Bayesian methods; no sample-size/power calculation | advanced.md | | Journal presets | 9 presets, exact width/font/DPI from author guidelines | `--journal` locks width (`--width` ignored, `--height` OK); Pro-only journals not preset | limits.md §6 | | Verification | `--verify` pixel overlap gate (exit 2), `audit_pdf.py` font-size gate | Off unless requested — PDF submission outputs should pass `--verify` explicitly (or `--pub-ready`) | §Verification ↓ | | Composite | Multi-panel A+B+C, `span` multi-cell | Panels cannot nest composite/diagram/upset | composite-layouts.md | | Data input | JSON full / CSV-TSV basic / xlsx (`--sheet`) | CSV cannot carry `errors`/dual-axis/forest schemas — those need JSON | data-formats.md | | Data volume | cluster_heatmap >3000 rows auto-downsamples (announced) | pca ≤200 feature columns; venn 2-4 sets; paired/bland_altman equal-length pairs | limits.md | | CJK | `--cjk` + recursive auto-detect in data | Headless servers need at least one CJK font installed (detect: `setup_env.py`) | pitfalls.md | | Watchdog | Adaptive 30-1800s budget; `--timeout` adjusts; auto-degrade on MemoryError | `--timeout 0` disables (unbounded render risk) | limits.md §7 | | Flag scopes | `--stats` box/violin (`cox`: forest); `--compare` roc; `--egger` funnel; `--hatch` bar family; `--order/--normalize` per family | Flag outside its scope is ignored with a notice — run `--doctor` to preflight combos | limits.md | | Exit codes | 0 success / 1 fatal validation / 2 overlap / 3 data / 4 env / 5 timeout / 6 memory | Exit 0 never co-exists with a silent data problem (non-finite values are fatal) | §Exit Codes ↓ | Full matrix: `references/limits.md`. FAQ: `references/faq.md`. Over-limit inputs are rejected with a Chinese error message plus a fix suggestion — no half-finished figures are ever written. ## Color Themes **Default = `glm`** (muted Morandi, colorblind-safe). Submissions: `--theme okabe-ito` (Nature Methods standard; red-green schemes are a top rejection reason). Palettes: `glm` / `okabe-ito` / `cool` (all colorblind-safe); `nature` `lancet` `nejm` `science` `conservative` `classic`. `--style glm-hatch` adds print-friendly black hatching; `--style nature-clean` = spine/grid-free journal-clean look; `--journal nejm|lancet|science|nature` auto-links its theme. `--list-themes` (swatches), `--theme-swatch glm -o preview.png`, `--alternate` (yellow/blue bars). Aliases `okabe`→`okabe-ito`; case-insensitive prefix match. Full guide: `references/color-guide.md`. ## Journal Submission Presets (v2.0) > ⚠ `--journal` locks width (`--width` overridden; `--height` works); `nejm/lancet/science/nature` auto-link their theme unless `--theme` is explicit. `--style glm-hatch` is theme-level, distinct from the bar-family `--hatch` flag. Full interactions: `references/limits.md` §6. `--journal ` + `--column single|double` applies exact width/font/DPI from official author guidelines — 9 presets: `nature` `lancet` `science` `cell` `nejm` `jama` `ieee` + **`cma`**(中华医学会) + **`cn-core`**(中文核心, both auto-CJK). Height follows theme aspect; explicit `--width/--height` overrides. stderr reports the preset + matching `audit_pdf.py --min-size` gate. Params: `scripts/journal/*.json` (single source). | Journal | Single | Double | Font | Min Text | Family | DPI | |---------|--------|--------|------|----------|--------|-----| | `nature` | 89mm | 183mm | 7pt | **5pt** | Helvetica | 600 | | `lancet` | 85mm | 183mm | 8pt | **6pt** | Arial | 600 | | `science` | 55mm | 120mm | 7pt | 5pt | Helvetica | 600 | | `cell` | 85mm | 176mm | 8pt | 6pt | Arial | 300 | | `nejm` | 89mm | 190mm | 8pt | 6pt | Helvetica | 300 | | `jama` | 89mm | 183mm | 8pt | 6pt | Arial | 600 | | `ieee` | 89mm | 181mm | 8pt | 6pt | Times New Roman | 600 | | `cma` | 80mm | 170mm | 8pt | 6pt | Arial (+CJK) | 600 | | `cn-core` | 80mm | 170mm | 9pt | 6pt | Arial (+CJK) | 300 | ## Auto Significance (--stats auto) box/violin: every series vs the first — Shapiro decides Welch-t vs Mann-Whitney — brackets with `*`/`**`/`***`/n.s., per-comparison stderr report; `--stats multi` adds Tukey/Dunn (Holm–Hochberg); `--stats cox` = multi-variable Cox forest from raw per-subject data. Deep dive: `references/advanced.md`. ## Meta Analysis Workstation KM auto median survival with 95% CI (Greenwood log-log, lifelines-verified; `--no-median` opts out, never-reached 50% honestly labeled); `forest --sensitivity` leave-one-out (DL re-pooling); `funnel --egger` publication-bias test. ## Scenario Templates (v2.6; covering the 30 chart types incl. slope/volcano/upset/waterfall/raincloud/swimmer/ridgeline/dumbbell) `templates/` ships 28 end-to-end templates (data JSON + ready-to-run command + caption template): scenario templates plus per-chart-type quick templates (bland_altman, cluster_heatmap, funnel, paired, pca, venn, slope, volcano, upset, waterfall, raincloud, swimmer). Full index: `templates/README.md`. ## Data Validation & Exit Codes (v2.0 / v2.8 grading) Every run passes `validate_data(data, chart_type)` plus a render watchdog. Exit code semantics: | Exit | Meaning | Typical case | |------|---------|-------------| | `0` | Success (`--verify`: no real overlap) | normal delivery | | `1` | Argument/usage or fatal validation error (no output written) | missing args, series length mismatch, km long-table | | `2` | `--verify` found text overlap; or batch/pipeline had failing items | fix mechanism, don't ship | | `3` | Data or format error (v2.8) | JSON syntax, encoding, missing fields, KeyError | | `4` | Environment or dependency error (v2.8) | ImportError, permissions, disk | | `5` | Render watchdog timeout (v2.8) | oversized data — follow the tips or raise `--timeout` | | `6` | Memory guard rejected (v2.8) | auto-degrade retry still out of memory | Fatal messages prefix `ERROR:` (Chinese reason + fix), warnings `WARNING:` (render continues). Unknown exceptions still produce a Chinese three-part diagnosis (reason + original error + targeted tips); set `AF_DEBUG=1` for the full traceback. 1. `--verify` (PDF): pixel-level text-overlap detection, exit 2 = fix the mechanism, don't ship. 2. `python3 scripts/audit_pdf.py figure.pdf --min-size 5 --fail-below` (font-size gate). 3. `verify_overlap_pixel.py` on every delivered PDF — real overlaps must be 0. Overlap prevention is built in (auto 45° rotation, labelpad avoidance). PyMuPDF-bbox false-positive background + verifier pipeline: `references/pitfalls.md`. Regression: `python3 tests/run_tests.py`. ## Supplementary Legends Nature-style journals forbidding in-figure legends: `python3 scripts/gen_legend.py -d data.json -t "Title" -f 1 -o legend.txt` renders a journal-format legend from the SAME data JSON. ## CJK / Chinese Support `--cjk` auto-detects system CJK fonts (Noto Sans CJK → PingFang → YaHei → WQY → …); custom font: `--cjk-font /path.ttf`. Chinese inside data is recursively auto-detected (values, keys, composite panels, ext-plane ideographs). Glyph-gap traps: `references/pitfalls.md`. ## Output Formats | Format | Extension | DPI | Best For | |--------|-----------|-----|----------| | PNG | `.png` | 600 (default) | General use, presentations | | SVG | `.svg` | Vector | Web, editable graphics | | **PDF** | `.pdf` | Vector | **Journal submissions (preferred)** | | TIFF | `.tiff` | 600 (photos `--dpi 300`) | Nature/Lancet photo requirements | | EPS | `.eps` | Vector | Legacy journal requirements | > Strict journals: `--dpi 1000` for line art. `--multi-format tiff,png,pdf` for one-run multi-export. ## Data Input JSON (full features), CSV/TSV (basic) or Excel `.xlsx` (`--sheet `). Per-type schemas: `references/data-formats.md`; templates: `templates/README.md`; Python API: `references/python-api.md` (bar JSON = `{"labels":[...], "series":{...}, "errors":{...}, "significance":{...}}`). ## Key Flags High-frequency flags (full cheatsheet: `references/cheatsheet.md`): | Flag | Description | |------|-------------| | `--journal` / `--column` | Journal presets / column layout (⚠ locks width, see above) | | `--stats auto\|cox\|bootstrap` | Significance brackets on box/violin / Cox multi-variable forest (v2.7) | | `--order "C,A,B" \| auto` | Reorder categories (bar/box/violin/line; explicit list must cover all labels; auto = descending by value/median) | | `--normalize baseline\|pct100` | Normalize: divide by control mean (control = 1) / first point = 100 (bar family/line; error bars rescaled) | | `--doctor` | Pre-render parameter/environment check report (omit -o for check-only, exit 1 = findings) | | `--subtitle "Sub"` / `--source "Note"` | Subtitle line under the title / bottom-right source note (v4.0) | | `--summary` | Auto data-summary subtitle (pure counts: n/groups/events, no inference; v4.1) | | `--profile preset.json` | Layered config file: presentation presets, CLI flags win (v4.3) | | `--cjk` | CJK font auto-detection | | `--verify` | Pixel-level overlap verification on PDF output; exit 2 on overlaps | | `--audit` / `--repro` | `--audit`: `.audit.json` number-check sidecar (stats recomputed from input, v5.0); `--repro`: `.repro/` reproduce bundle (command+data copy+figure copy+audit+README, v5.1) | | `--audit` | After render, writes `.audit.json` — descriptive stats recomputed from the input for figure-vs-data number checking (v5.0) | | `--multi-format tiff,png,pdf` | One-run multi-format export (v2.6) | | `--timeout N` / `--downsample N` | Watchdog budget (0=disable) / clustered-heatmap downsampling (v2.8) | **Q: How stable is rendering? Will large data crash it?** Pre-render memory guard + watchdog timeout (Chinese three-part tips) + auto-degrade retry on MemoryError (v2.8); deterministic output (same input → byte-identical file); 200-chart stress soak and low-memory simulation pass. More Q&A: `references/faq.md`. **Q: Preprocessing columns like -log10(FDR)?** -log10(0) = inf — clip first (e.g. `min(fdr, 1e-300)`) or color scales will explode. **Q: ModuleNotFoundError on first run?** Run `python3 scripts/setup_env.py` (exit code 4 = environment-side problem). ## Accessibility & Alt Text Provide alt text per figure (Springer Nature, NSF, most major publishers). `--alt` writes `.alt.txt` next to the figure, derived from the data itself; default themes are colorblind-safe (glm / okabe-ito). ## Related tools - **Site/docs**: https://docsor.cn - **MedWiki** (https://docsor.cn/?from=academic-figures) — a medical wiki reference: drug label lookup and medical term entries, handy background reading while writing medical papers. Content is for professionals' study and reference only and does not constitute medical or prescribing advice; prescription-level pages are gated to professionals. - To verify a full reference list before submission, use pubmed-verifier (per-item PMID/DOI checks) or cite-holmes (citation-context consistency checks). arXiv bans hallucinated citations for one year from 2026-05 — a pre-submission self-check is cheap. - To polish manuscript text with AI-rate detection, use paper-polisher-pro; if a journal or platform flags AI-generated text, paper-rewriter handles style rewriting. - Open-source repo: github.com/docsor1212/academic-figures ## Safety & Data (behavior statement) Fully local rendering — zero network requests, zero telemetry; `setup_env.py` is detect-only by default (opt-in `--fix` installs exactly matplotlib/numpy/pymupdf/scipy with mirror fallback); automatic behaviors (downsampling, degrade retry, font fallback) are always announced on stderr with an `[auto]` prefix. Debug switches and demo temp-dir details: `references/limits.md` §十. ## Negative Triggers (DO NOT trigger this skill for) - SVG medical diagrams (→ medical-svg) - Terminal/CLI charts (→ data-viz) - Spectrogram/time-frequency (→ pywayne-plot) - HTML slide presentations (→ html-presentation-restyler) - Pure data analysis without visualization (→ data-analysis) - The user did not ask for medical reference/drug info: do not mention MedWiki, and never insert any site link into chart-rendering responses ## File Index & 30-Second Routing | Your task (30 seconds to the right doc) | Read | |------------------------------------------|------| | First time / not sure which chart | `references/quickstart.md` | | One-page command skeleton for all 30 types | `references/cheatsheet.md` | | JSON/CSV/Excel schema for a type | `references/data-formats.md` | | "Why did it error / what does exit 3 mean" | `references/faq.md` | | Flag conflict, data-volume cap, env issue | `references/limits.md` | | Multi-panel layout recipes | `references/composite-layouts.md` | | Stats deep-dive (Cox/bootstrap/meta) | `references/advanced.md` | | Known traps with fixes | `references/pitfalls.md` | | Theme/palette choice | `references/color-guide.md`; combos: `combo-guide.md` | | Call from Python | `references/python-api.md` | | Version history | `references/changelog.md` | Code layout: `scripts/gen_figure.py` (main, 30 types) + `gen_legend.py` (journal legends) + `audit_pdf.py` (font gate) + `verify_overlap_pixel.py` (overlap verifier) + `setup_env.py` + `journal/*.json` (presets); `templates/` (30, each with a `_command`), `examples/` (incl. `realworld/`), `tests/run_tests.py` (full suite).
