Generate a publication-quality methodology diagram from text. Args: source_context: Methodology section text or relevant paper excerpt. caption: Figure caption describing what the diagram should communicate. iterations: Number of refinement iterations (default 3). Returns: The generated diagram as a PNG image.

Generate a publication-quality statistical plot from JSON data. Args: data_json: JSON string containing the data to plot. Example: '{"x": [1,2,3], "y": [4,5,6], "labels": ["a","b","c"]}' intent: Description of the desired plot (e.g. "Bar chart comparing model accuracy"). iterations: Number of refinement iterations (default 3). Returns: The generated plot as a PNG image.

Evaluate a generated diagram against a human reference on 4 dimensions. Compares the model-generated image to a human-drawn reference using Faithfulness, Conciseness, Readability, and Aesthetics scoring with hierarchical aggregation. Args: generated_path: File path to the model-generated image. reference_path: File path to the human-drawn reference image. context: Original methodology text used to generate the diagram. caption: Figure caption describing what the diagram communicates. Returns: Formatted evaluation scores with per-dimension results and overall winner.

概要

What is Paperbanana?

PaperBanana is an agentic framework for generating publication-quality academic diagrams and statistical plots from natural language descriptions. It integrates with OpenAI, Azure OpenAI / Foundry, Google Gemini, and Atlas Cloud providers. The framework is designed for AI scientists who need automated, multi-agent pipeline support for academic illustration.

How to use Paperbanana?

Install via pip install paperbanana, set up an API key (OpenAI, Gemini, or Atlas Cloud) in .env or using paperbanana setup, then run paperbanana generate --input method.txt --caption "Your caption". Optionally use --optimize --auto for input optimization and auto-refine. A local Gradio web UI is available via paperbanana studio, and an MCP server enables IDE integration. Batch generation from manifest files is supported.

Key features of Paperbanana

  • 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 manifest files (YAML/JSON)
  • PDF input support for methodology context
  • PaperBanana Studio – local Gradio web UI

Use cases of Paperbanana

  • Generating methodology diagrams for research papers from textual descriptions
  • Creating statistical plots from structured data with paperbanana plot-batch
  • Batch-generating multiple diagrams from a single manifest file
  • Iteratively refining diagrams with user feedback or auto-refine mode
  • Integrating with IDEs via the MCP server for inline diagram generation

FAQ from Paperbanana

What API keys are required?

You need an OpenAI API key (or Azure OpenAI / Foundry endpoint), a Google Gemini API key (free, from Google AI Studio), or an Atlas Cloud API key. Set them in .env or use paperbanana setup.

What are the runtime requirements?

Python 3.10+ and one of the supported API keys. Optional dependencies include PyMuPDF (paperbanana[pdf]) for PDF input and paperbanana[studio] for the web UI. Docker is also supported.

How does the iterative refinement loop work?

The pipeline runs up to 7 agents across two phases: input optimization (optional), linear planning with a Retriever, Planner, and Stylist, then iterative refinement between a Visualizer and Critic (default 3 iterations). With --auto, it continues until the critic is satisfied.

Can I use PDF documents as input?

Yes, install paperbanana[pdf] (or PyMuPDF) and use the --input paper.pdf --pdf-pages "3-8" flags to select specific pages for methodology context.

Is there a web interface for Paperbanana?

Yes, PaperBanana Studio is a local Gradio web UI started with paperbanana studio. It exposes the same workflows: diagram generation, statistical plots, evaluation, batch processing, and run browsing. Use --host, --port, --config, and --output-dir for configuration.
