figure-generator

What problem does it solve?

This skill automates figure generation for LaTeX documents by converting figure placeholders in writer-produced .tex files into executable figures. It ensures consistent styling and reduces manual figure crafting.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Placeholder-to-graphics generation: Replaces figure placeholders with \includegraphics pointing to generated outputs.
• Plot templating & consistency: Creates or updates a shared figures/plot_defaults.py to unify styling across all figures.
• Support for data plots and schematics: Generates Python scripts for data-driven plots and TikZ/Python schematics when possible.
• Post-writer workflow: Runs after writer has produced the LaTeX prose and integrates with formatter for final polish.

Quick Start

After the writer step, run the figure-generator to convert all placeholders in your .tex files into includegraphics commands and generate figures in the figures/ directory. Ensure a figures/plot_defaults.py exists or is created to apply consistent styling.
