To generate publication-ready figures and LaTeX tables from experimental data, use a tool that automates the conversion of raw results into formatted plots and tables. This process requires a PAPER_PLAN.md figure plan and data files stored in the figures/ or project data directory.

For academic papers, you can create data-driven plots including line plots, bar charts, scatter plots, heatmaps, and distribution plots. You can also assemble multiple plots into multi-panel subfigures to present complex experimental results clearly.

Yes, a PAPER_PLAN.md file placed in the project root is required to automate figure generation. This file must contain your figure plan, and your experiment data files must be available under the figures/ or project data directory before running generation scripts.

No, you cannot automatically generate publication-quality architecture or pipeline diagrams. The tool can provide rough TikZ skeletons, but creating complex diagrams requires manual creation to achieve the necessary quality for academic publication.

Generating new figures will not overwrite your existing project figures. If figures already exist in your project directory, they are preserved and referenced automatically by the generation workflow alongside the newly created data-driven plots.
