create-figure

Generate publication-quality figures from code analysis data for academic papers.

Quick Start for Agents

Don't get overwhelmed by 50+ commands! Use domain navigation:

bash
# Step 1: Find your domain
create-figure domains

# Step 2: List commands for your domain
create-figure list --domain ml        # ML/LLM projects
create-figure list --domain control   # Aerospace/control systems
create-figure list --domain bio       # Bioinformatics

# Step 3: Or get recommendations by data type
create-figure recommend --data-type classification
create-figure recommend --data-type time_series
create-figure recommend --show-types  # See all data types

Domain Quick Reference

Domain Use For Key Commands
core Any project metrics, workflow, architecture, deps
ml ML/LLM evaluation confusion-matrix, roc-curve, training-curves, scaling-law
control Aerospace, control systems bode, nyquist, rootlocus, state-space
field Nuclear, thermal, physics contour, vector-field, heatmap
project Scheduling, requirements gantt, pert, radar, sankey
math Pure mathematics 3d-surface, complex-plane, phase-portrait
bio Bioinformatics, medical violin, volcano, survival-curve, manhattan
hierarchy Breakdowns, fault trees treemap, sunburst, force-graph

Architecture

Multi-backend design for maximum compatibility:

Backend Use Case Output Formats
Graphviz Deterministic layouts, CI-friendly PDF, PNG, SVG, DOT
Mermaid Quick documentation, GitHub-compatible PDF, PNG, SVG, MMD
NetworkX Graph manipulation, D3 export JSON, PDF, PNG
matplotlib/seaborn Publication charts (IEEE settings) PDF, PNG, SVG
plotly Interactive Sankey, sunburst, treemap PDF, PNG, HTML
pydeps Python module dependencies via Graphviz
pyreverse UML class diagrams via Graphviz

Common Commands

deps - Dependency Graph

bash
./run.sh deps --project /path/to/package --output deps.pdf
./run.sh deps -p ./src -o deps.svg --backend mermaid --depth 3

architecture - Architecture Diagram

bash
./run.sh architecture --project ./assess_output.json --output arch.pdf

metrics - Metrics Chart

bash
./run.sh metrics --input data.json --output metrics.pdf --type bar
./run.sh metrics -i data.json -o chart.pdf --type pie --title "Issue Distribution"

Chart types: bar, hbar, pie, line

workflow - Workflow Diagram

bash
./run.sh workflow --stages "Scope,Analysis,Search,Learn,Draft" --output workflow.pdf

confusion-matrix - Confusion Matrix

bash
./run.sh confusion-matrix --input results.json --output confusion.pdf --normalize

roc-curve - ROC Curve

bash
./run.sh roc-curve --input roc_data.json --output roc.pdf

bode - Bode Plot

bash
./run.sh bode --num 1,2 --den 1,3,2 --output bode.pdf

heatmap - Heatmap

bash
./run.sh heatmap --input matrix.json --output flux.pdf --cmap plasma

sankey - Sankey Diagram

bash
./run.sh sankey --input flows.json --output sankey.pdf

from-assess - Generate All Figures

Generate all figures from /assess output in one command:

bash
./run.sh from-assess --input assess_output.json --output-dir ./figures/

Generates:

  • architecture.pdf - System architecture diagram
  • dependencies.pdf - Module dependency graph
  • features.pdf - Feature distribution chart
  • issues.pdf - Issue severity pie chart

Publication Quality Settings

matplotlib figures use IEEE publication settings:

  • Font: 8pt Times New Roman (serif)
  • DPI: 600 for saving, 300 for display
  • Column widths: Single (3.5"), Double (7.16")
  • TrueType fonts for Illustrator compatibility

Dependencies

Required:

  • Python 3.10+
  • typer
  • numpy

Optional (enables features):

Package Features Enabled
matplotlib All charts, plots, diagrams
seaborn Heatmaps, publication styling
plotly Sankey, sunburst, treemap, interactive
networkx Force-directed graphs, PERT
scipy Bode/Nyquist fallback, contours
control Bode, Nyquist, root locus
graphviz Dependency/architecture diagrams

Installation

bash
# Core
pip install typer numpy matplotlib

# Full installation (all features)
pip install typer numpy matplotlib seaborn plotly networkx pandas squarify scipy control pydeps pylint

# System dependencies
apt install graphviz  # Debian/Ubuntu
npm install -g @mermaid-js/mermaid-cli
