| 36 | An agentic framework for generating publication-quality academic diagrams and statistical plots from text descriptions. Supports OpenAI (GPT-5.2 + GPT-Image-1.5), Azure OpenAI / Foundry, Google Gemini, and Atlas Cloud providers. |
| 37 | |
| 38 | - Two-phase multi-agent pipeline with iterative refinement |
| 39 | - Multiple VLM and image generation providers (OpenAI, Azure, Gemini, Atlas Cloud) |
| 40 | - Input optimization layer for better generation quality |
| 41 | - Auto-refine mode and run continuation with user feedback |
| 42 | - CLI, Python API, and MCP server for IDE integration |
| 43 | - **Batch generation** from a manifest file (YAML/JSON) for multiple diagrams in one run |
| 44 | - **Batch plots** — `paperbanana plot-batch` runs many statistical plots from one manifest (CSV/JSON per item) |
| 45 | - **PDF inputs** for methodology context (optional `paperbanana[pdf]` / PyMuPDF), with per-page selection |
| 46 | - **PaperBanana Studio** — local Gradio web UI (`paperbanana studio`) for diagrams, plots, evaluation, batch, and run browser |
| 47 | - Claude Code skills for `/generate-diagram`, `/generate-plot`, and `/evaluate-diagram` |
