Figures for Papers


I am Chen Liu (刘晨), a Computer Science PhD Candidate at Yale University.

This is a centralized repository of my own Python scripts for high-quality figures.

These figures are published at top venues, including Nature Machine Intelligence, ICML, NeurIPS, ECCV, etc. 🎉

Please feel free to cite any of these papers if you find them relevant or helpful. 🎓
在符合学术规范的前提下,欢迎大家狠狠引用。 🎓

Miscellaneous: figures not made end-to-end in Python

These figures were made partially in Python. I included them to acknowledge the time and efforts I spent on them.

LLM skill integration

I want to show appreciation to my friend Shan Chen who suggested doing this.

The scientific figure making skill lives in scientific-figure-making/. Demo figures live in assets/. Project-specific scripts and outputs live in figure_*/.

Using this skill in an AI coding agent

No installation (path-based)

You can use this skill without installing anything: open this repo in your AI coding agent (e.g. Cursor, Claude Code, etc.) and reference the skill by path in your prompts. The agent reads scientific-figure-making/SKILL.md and the references/ files from the repo—no symlinks or plugins required.

Simple AI workflow

  1. Open this repository in your AI coding agent (e.g. Cursor).
  2. Ask the AI to create or update a plotting script in your target folder (for example figure_PROJECT_NAME/).
  3. In your prompt, explicitly ask it to follow scientific-figure-making/SKILL.md and scientific-figure-making/references/design-theory.md.
  4. Run the generated script and check the exported figure.

Prompt template (copy/paste)

Create a publication-quality figure script at <target_path>.
Use the Scientific Figure Making skill conventions from:
- scientific-figure-making/SKILL.md
- scientific-figure-making/references/design-theory.md
- scientific-figure-making/references/api.md (palette, helpers, export)

Implement or adapt the patterns (apply_publication_style, make_* helpers, finalize_figure). See figure_* folders for reference scripts.
Input data: <describe your data or paste arrays>.
Output files: <name>.png and <name>.pdf.
Keep the style consistent with this repository.
Install as a skill (symlink)

From the repository root, run:

AgentCommands
Cursormkdir -p ~/.cursor/skills then ln -s "$(pwd)/scientific-figure-making" ~/.cursor/skills/scientific-figure-making
Claude Codemkdir -p ~/.claude/skills then ln -s "$(pwd)/scientific-figure-making" ~/.claude/skills/scientific-figure-making
Codexmkdir -p ~/.codex/skills then ln -s "$(pwd)/scientific-figure-making" ~/.codex/skills/scientific-figure-making

Restart the agent (or refresh its skill list) after linking. You can then invoke or cite the skill by name in addition to using path-based references when the repo is open.
