SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Pixel-perfect visuals are essential for consistent branding across papers, READMEs, and slides, but creating them repeatedly is time-consuming.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated generation of pixel-art and flat SVG visuals aligned with project branding.
  • Palette extraction from config.yaml or prior visuals to ensure visual consistency.
  • Output to outputs/visuals/{name}.svg as a tracked deliverable, ready for README hero or slide decoration.
  • For rigorous academic figures (architecture / pipeline / flow), route to paper-illustrate; for data-driven plots, route to paper-figure.

Quick Start

Provide the project context (name, branding, and desired style) and run the visual generator to create and save the SVG at outputs/visuals/{name}.svg.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate pixel-art SVG visuals for project branding?

You can generate pixel-art SVG visuals by providing project context like name, branding, and desired style. The tool outputs cohesive flat SVG graphics to outputs/visuals/{name}.svg, ready for use as README hero images or slide decorations.

How do I keep a consistent color palette across README and presentation visuals?

To keep a consistent color palette across visuals, the generator extracts branding colors from your config.yaml or prior visuals. This ensures all pixel-art and flat SVG outputs maintain visual consistency across papers and slides.

What's the best way to automate SVG mascot creation for a research project?

Automating SVG mascot creation involves providing project context to a visual generator that applies your branding palette. It outputs flat SVG files to a designated visuals directory, ensuring consistent concept illustrations across papers.

Should I use pixel-art SVG generation for academic architecture diagrams?

Pixel-art SVG generation is not intended for rigorous academic architecture diagrams. For architecture, pipeline, or flow figures, you should route to paper-illustrate, and use paper-figure for data-driven plots instead.

Do I need a config.yaml file to generate cohesive project visuals?

A config.yaml file is required to define project context and extract the color palette for cohesive branding. Alternatively, the generator can extract palettes from prior visuals to maintain consistency across new SVG outputs.
