# Scientific Schematics - Quick Reference
**How it works:** Describe your diagram → Nano Banana Pro generates it automatically
## Setup (One-Time)
```bash
# Get API key from https://openrouter.ai/keys
export OPENROUTER_API_KEY='sk-or-v1-your_key_here'
# Add to shell profile for persistence
echo 'export OPENROUTER_API_KEY="sk-or-v1-your_key"' >> ~/.bashrc # or ~/.zshrc
```
## Basic Usage
```bash
# Describe your diagram, Nano Banana Pro creates it
python scripts/generate_schematic.py "your diagram description" -o output.png
# That's it! Automatic:
# - Iterative refinement (3 rounds)
# - Quality review and improvement
# - Publication-ready output
```
## Common Examples
### CONSORT Flowchart
```bash
python scripts/generate_schematic.py \
"CONSORT flow: screened n=500, excluded n=150, randomized n=350" \
-o consort.png
```
### Neural Network
```bash
python scripts/generate_schematic.py \
"Transformer architecture with encoder and decoder stacks" \
-o transformer.png
```
### Biological Pathway
```bash
python scripts/generate_schematic.py \
"MAPK pathway: EGFR → RAS → RAF → MEK → ERK" \
-o mapk.png
```
### Circuit Diagram
```bash
python scripts/generate_schematic.py \
"Op-amp circuit with 1kΩ resistor and 10µF capacitor" \
-o circuit.png
```
## Command Options
| Option | Description | Example |
|--------|-------------|---------|
| `-o, --output` | Output file path | `-o figures/diagram.png` |
| `--iterations N` | Number of refinements (1-10) | `--iterations 5` |
| `-v, --verbose` | Show detailed output | `-v` |
| `--api-key KEY` | Provide API key | `--api-key sk-or-v1-...` |
## Prompt Tips
### ✓ Good Prompts (Specific)
- "CONSORT flowchart with screening (n=500), exclusion (n=150), randomization (n=350)"
- "Transformer architecture: encoder on left with 6 layers, decoder on right, cross-attention connections"
- "MAPK signaling: receptor → RAS → RAF → MEK → ERK → nucleus, label each phosphorylation"
### ✗ Avoid (Too Vague)
- "Make a flowchart"
- "Neural network"
- "Pathway diagram"
## Output Files
For input `diagram.png`, you get:
- `diagram_v1.png` - First iteration
- `diagram_v2.png` - Second iteration
- `diagram_v3.png` - Final iteration
- `diagram.png` - Copy of final
- `diagram_review_log.json` - Quality scores and critiques
## Review Log

gen = ScientificSchematicGenerator(api_key="your_key")
# Generate
results = gen.generate_iterative(
user_prompt="diagram description",
output_path="output.png",
iterations=3
)
# Check quality
print(f"Score: {results['final_score']}/10")
```
## Troubleshooting
### API Key Not Found
```bash
# Check if set
echo $OPENROUTER_API_KEY
# Set it
export OPENROUTER_API_KEY='your_key'
```
### Import Error
```bash

# AI Generation Mode (Nano Banana Pro)
## Iterative Refinement Workflow
The AI generation system uses a sophisticated three-iteration refinement process:
### Iteration 1: Initial Generation
**Prompt Construction:**
```
Scientific diagram guidelines + User request
```
**Example internal prompt:**
```
Create a high-quality scientific diagram with:
- Clean white background
- High contrast for readability
- Clear labels (minimum 10pt font)
- Professional typography
- Colorblind-friendly colors
- Proper spacing
USER REQUEST: CONSORT participant flow diagram showing screening,
exclusion, randomization, and analysis phases with participant counts
```
**Output:** `diagram_v1.png`
### Iteration 2: Review and Improve
**AI Quality Review:**
- Evaluates scientific accuracy
- Checks label clarity and readability
- Assesses layout and composition
- Verifies accessibility (grayscale, colorblind)
- Assigns quality score (0-10)
- Provides specific improvement suggestions
**Example critique:**
```
Score: 7/10
Strengths:
- Clear flow from top to bottom
- Good use of colors
- All phases labeled
Issues:
- Participant counts (n=X) are too small to read
- "Excluded" box overlaps with arrow
- Would benefit from reasons for exclusion
Suggestions:
- Increase font size for all numbers to at least 12pt
- Add more vertical spacing between boxes
- Include exclusion criteria in a separate annotation box
```
**Improved Prompt:**
```
[Original guidelines + user request]
ITERATION 2: Address these improvements:
- Increase font size for participant counts to 12pt minimum
- Add vertical spacing to prevent overlaps
- Include exclusion criteria in annotation box
```
**Output:** `diagram_v2.png`
### Iteration 3: Final Polish
**Second Review:**
- Verifies improvements were implemented
- Checks for any remaining issues
- Final quality assessment
**Final Generation:**
- Incorporates all feedback
- Produces publication-ready diagram
**Output:** `diagram_v3.png` (final version)
### Review Log
All iterations are saved with a JSON review log:
```json
{
"user_prompt": "CONSORT participant flow diagram...",
"iterations": [
{
"iteration": 1,
"image_path": "figures/consort_v1.png",
"score": 7.0,
"critique": "..."
},
{
"iteration": 2,
"image_path": "figures/consort_v2.png",

4. **Maintain consistency** - Same style across all figures in paper
5. **Version control** - Keep prompts and generated images in repository
## Troubleshooting Common Issues
### AI Generation Issues
**Problem**: Overlapping text or elements
- **Solution**: AI generation automatically handles spacing
- **Solution**: Increase iterations: `--iterations 5` for better refinement
**Problem**: Elements not connecting properly
- **Solution**: Make your prompt more specific about connections and layout
- **Solution**: Increase iterations for better refinement
### Image Quality Issues
**Problem**: Export quality poor
- **Solution**: AI generation produces high-quality images automatically
- **Solution**: Increase iterations for better results: `--iterations 5`
**Problem**: Elements overlap after generation
- **Solution**: AI generation automatically handles spacing
- **Solution**: Increase iterations: `--iterations 5` for better refinement
- **Solution**: Make your prompt more specific about layout and spacing requirements
### Quality Check Issues
**Problem**: False positive overlap detection
- **Solution**: Adjust threshold: `detect_overlaps(image_path, threshold=0.98)`
- **Solution**: Manually review flagged regions in visual report
**Problem**: Generated image quality is low
- **Solution**: AI generation produces high-quality images by default
- **Solution**: Increase iterations for better results: `--iterations 5`
**Problem**: Colorblind simulation shows poor contrast
- **Solution**: Switch to Okabe-Ito palette explicitly in code
- **Solution**: Add redundant encoding (shapes, patterns, line styles)
- **Solution**: Increase color saturation and lightness differences
**Problem**: High-severity overlaps detected
- **Solution**: Review overlap_report.json for exact positions
- **Solution**: Increase spacing in those specific regions
- **Solution**: Re-run with adjusted parameters and verify again
**Problem**: Visual report generation fails
- **Solution**: Check Pillow and matplotlib installations
- **Solution**: Ensure image file is readable: `Image.open(path).verify()`
- **Solution**: Check sufficient disk space for report generation
### Accessibility Problems
**Problem**: Colors indistinguishable in grayscale
- **Solution**: Run accessibility checker: `verify_accessibility(image_path)`
- **Solution**: Add patterns, shapes, or line styles for redundancy
- **Solution**: Increase contrast between adjacent elements
**Problem**: Text too small when printed
- **Solution**: Run resolution validator: `validate_resolution(image_path)`
- **Solution**: Design at final size, use minimum 7-8 pt fonts
- **Solution**: Check physical dimensions in resolution report
**Problem**: Accessibility checks consistently fail
- **Solution**: Review accessibility_report.json for specific failures
- **Solution**: Increase color contrast by at least 20%
- **Solution**: Test with actual grayscale conversion before finalizing

# Best Practices for Scientific Diagrams
## Overview
This guide provides publication standards, accessibility guidelines, and best practices for creating high-quality scientific diagrams that meet journal requirements and communicate effectively to all readers.
## Publication Standards
### 1. File Format Requirements
**Vector Formats (Preferred)**
- **PDF**: Universal acceptance, preserves quality, works with LaTeX
- Use for: Line drawings, flowcharts, block diagrams, circuit diagrams
- Advantages: Scalable, small file size, embeds fonts
- Standard for LaTeX workflows
- **EPS (Encapsulated PostScript)**: Legacy format, still accepted
- Use for: Older publishing systems
- Compatible with most journals
- Can be converted from PDF
- **SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics)**: Web-friendly, increasingly accepted
- Use for: Online publications, interactive figures
- Can be edited in vector graphics software
- Not all journals accept SVG
**Raster Formats (When Necessary)**
- **TIFF**: Professional standard for raster graphics
- Use for: Microscopy images, photographs combined with diagrams
- Minimum 300 DPI at final print size
- Lossless compression (LZW)
- **PNG**: Web-friendly, lossless compression
- Use for: Online supplementary materials, presentations
- Minimum 300 DPI for print
- Supports transparency
**Never Use**
- **JPEG**: Lossy compression creates artifacts in diagrams
- **GIF**: Limited colors, inappropriate for scientific figures
- **BMP**: Uncompressed, unnecessarily large files
### 2. Resolution Requirements
**Vector Graphics**
- Infinite resolution (scalable)
- **Recommended**: Always use vector when possible
**Raster Graphics (when vector not possible)**
- **Publication quality**: 300-600 DPI
- **Line art**: 600-1200 DPI
- **Web/screen**: 150 DPI acceptable
- **Never**: Below 300 DPI for print
**Calculating DPI**
```
DPI = pixels / (inches at final size)
Example:
Image size: 2400 × 1800 pixels
Final print size: 8 × 6 inches
DPI = 2400 / 8 = 300 ✓ (acceptable)
```
### 3. Size and Dimensions
**Journal-Specific Column Widths**
- **Nature**: Single column 89 mm (3.5 in), Double 183 mm (7.2 in)
- **Science**: Single column 55 mm (2.17 in), Double 120 mm (4.72 in)
- **Cell**: Single column 85 mm (3.35 in), Double 178 mm (7 in)
- **PLOS**: Single column 83 mm (3.27 in), Double 173 mm (6.83 in)
- **IEEE**: Single column 3.5 in, Double 7.16 in
**Best Practices**
- Design at final print size (avoid scaling)
- Use journal templates when available
- Allow margins for cropping
- Test appearance at final size before submission
### 4. Typography Standards
**Font Selection**
- **Recommended**: Arial, Helvetica, Calibri (sans-serif)
- **Acceptable**: Times New Roman (serif) for mathematics-heavy
- **Avoid**: Decorative fonts, script fonts, system fonts that may not embed
**Font Sizes (at final print size)**
- **Minimum**: 6-7 pt (journal dependent)
- **Axis labels**: 8-9 pt
- **Figure labels**: 10-12 pt
- **Panel labels (A, B, C)**: 10-14 pt, bold
- **Main text**: Should match manuscript body text
**Text Clarity**
- Use sentence case: "Time (seconds)" not "TIME (SECONDS)"
- Include units in parentheses: "Temperature (°C)"
- Spell out abbreviations in figure caption
- Avoid rotated text when possible (exception: y-axis labels)
### 5. Line Weights and Strokes
**Recommended Line Widths**
- **Diagram outlines**: 0.5-1.0 pt
- **Connection lines/arrows**: 1.0-2.0 pt
- **Emphasis elements**: 2.0-3.0 pt
- **Minimum visible**: 0.25 pt at final size
**Consistency**
- Use same line weight for similar elements
- Vary line weight to show hierarchy
- Avoid hairline rules (too thin to print reliably)
## Accessibility and Colorblindness
### 1. Colorblind-Safe Palettes
**Okabe-Ito Palette (Recommended)**
Most distinguishable by all types of colorblindness:
```latex
% RGB values
Orange: #E69F00 (230, 159, 0)
Sky Blue: #56B4E9 ( 86, 180, 233)
Green: #009E73 ( 0, 158, 115)
Yellow: #F0E442 (240, 228, 66)
Blue: #0072B2 ( 0, 114, 178)
Vermillion: #D55E00 (213, 94, 0)
Purple: #CC79A7 (204, 121, 167)
Black: #000000 ( 0, 0, 0)
```
**Alternative: ColorBrewer Palettes**
- **Qualitative**: Set2, Paired, Dark2
- **Sequential**: Blues, Greens, Oranges (avoid Reds/Greens together)
- **Diverging**: RdBu (Red-Blue), PuOr (Purple-Orange)
**Colors to Avoid Together**
- Red-Green combinations (8% of males cannot distinguish)
- Blue-Purple combinations
- Yellow-Light green combinations
### 2. Redundant Encoding
Don't rely on color alone. Use multiple visual channels:
**Shape + Color**
```
Circle + Blue = Condition A
Square + Orange = Condition B
Triangle + Green = Condition C
```
**Line Style + Color**
```
Solid + Blue = Treatment 1
Dashed + Orange = Treatment 2
Dotted + Green = Control
```
**Pattern Fill + Color**
```
Solid fill + Blue = Group A
Diagonal stripes + Orange = Group B
Cross-hatch + Green = Group C
```
### 3. Grayscale Compatibility
**Test Requirement**: All diagrams must be interpretable in grayscale
**Strategies**
- Use different shades (light, medium, dark)
- Add patterns or textures to filled areas
- Vary line styles (solid, dashed, dotted)
- Use labels directly on elements
- Include text annotations
**Grayscale Test**
```bash
# Convert to grayscale to test
convert diagram.pdf -colorspace gray diagram_gray.pdf
```
### 4. Contrast Requirements
**Minimum Contrast Ratios (WCAG Guidelines)**
- **Normal text**: 4.5:1
- **Large text** (≥18pt): 3:1
- **Graphical elements**: 3:1
**High Contrast Practices**
- Dark text on light background (or vice versa)
- Avoid low-contrast color pairs (yellow on white, light gray on white)
- Use black or dark gray for critical text
- White text on dark backgrounds needs larger font size
### 5. Alternative Text and Descriptions
**Figure Captions Must Include**
- Description of diagram type
- All abbreviations spelled out
- Explanation of symbols and colors
- Sample sizes (n) where relevant
- Statistical annotations explained
- Reference to detailed methods if applicable
**Example Caption**
"Participant flow diagram following CONSORT guidelines. Rectangles represent study stages, with participant numbers (n) shown. Exclusion criteria are listed beside each screening stage. Final analysis included n=350 participants across two groups."
## Design Principles
### 1. Simplicity and Clarity
**Occam's Razor for Diagrams**
- Remove every element that doesn't add information
- Simplify complex relationships
- Break complex diagrams into multiple panels
- Use consistent layouts across related figures
**Visual Hierarchy**
- Most important elements: Largest, darkest, central
- Supporting elements: Smaller, lighter, peripheral
- Annotations: Minimal, clear labels only
### 2. Consistency
**Within a Figure**
- Same shape/color represents same concept
- Consistent arrow styles for same relationships
- Uniform spacing and alignment
- Matching font sizes for similar elements
**Across Figures in a Paper**
- Reuse color schemes
- Maintain consistent node styles
- Use same notation system
- Apply same layout principles
### 3. Professional Appearance
**Alignment**
- Use grids for node placement
- Align nodes horizontally or vertically
- Evenly space elements
- Center labels within shapes
**White Space**
- Don't overcrowd diagrams
- Leave breathing room around elements
- Use white space to group related items
- Margins around entire diagram
**Polish**
- No jagged lines or misaligned elements
- Smooth curves and precise angles
- Clean connection points
- No overlapping text
## Common Pitfalls and Solutions
### Pitfall 1: Overcomplicated Diagrams
**Problem**: Too much information in one diagram
**Solution**:
- Split into multiple panels (A, B, C)
- Create overview + detailed diagrams
- Move details to supplementary figures
- Use hierarchical presentation
### Pitfall 2: Inconsistent Styling
**Problem**: Different styles for same elements across figures
**Solution**:
- Create and use style templates
- Use the same color palette throughout
- Document your style choices
### Pitfall 3: Poor Label Placement
**Problem**: Labels overlap elements or are hard to read
**Solution**:
- Place labels outside shapes when possible
- Use leader lines for distant labels
- Rotate text only when necessary
- Ensure adequate contrast with background
### Pitfall 4: Tiny Text
**Problem**: Text too small to read at final print size
**Solution**:
- Design at final size from the start
- Test print at final size
- Minimum 7-8 pt font
- Simplify labels if space is limited
### Pitfall 5: Ambiguous Arrows
**Problem**: Unclear what arrows represent or where they point
**Solution**:
- Use different arrow styles for different meanings
- Add labels to arrows
- Include legend for arrow types
- Use anchor points for precise connections
### Pitfall 6: Color Overuse
**Problem**: Too many colors, confusing or inaccessible
**Solution**:
- Limit to 3-5 colors maximum
- Use color purposefully (categories, emphasis)
- Stick to colorblind-safe palette
- Provide redundant encoding

4. **Format compliance**: Verify accepted format
**Accessibility Tests**
1. **Colorblind simulation**: Use tools like Color Oracle
2. **Contrast checker**: WCAG contrast ratio tools
3. **Screen reader**: Test alt text (for web figures)
### Tools for Testing
**Colorblind Simulation**
- Color Oracle (free, cross-platform)
- Coblis (Color Blindness Simulator)
- Photoshop/GIMP colorblind preview modes
**PDF Inspection**
```bash
# Check PDF properties
pdfinfo diagram.pdf
