Draft research figures from a prompt, then refine panels, labels, annotations, and export format before scientific and journal review.
Figure-first workflow
Panels, annotations, labels, charts, mechanisms, and methods
Editable draft loop
Start from a prompt and refine figure structure in AcaDraw chat
Publication-aware
Check journal dimensions, image integrity, accessibility, and captions
Product-generated examples
These examples show how AcaDraw can help draft research visuals. They are not peer-reviewed figures and should be checked against source data, domain standards, and journal requirements.
Biology
Generated November 2, 2025
Check units, equation choice, fitted relationship, and whether the visual supports the stated claim.
Create a publication-style scientific figure draft for enzyme kinetics. Include a clean plot, axis labels, highlighted trend, and a small note area for the figure caption.
Computer science
Generated November 2, 2025
Verify layer order, tensor flow, terminology, and any performance wording.
Create a scientific figure for a neural network architecture. Show input, feature extraction, model layers, classifier, output, and concise panel labels.
Chemistry
Generated November 2, 2025
Confirm charges, intermediates, arrow direction, catalyst role, and mechanism logic.
Draft a chemistry figure for a reaction mechanism with substrate, intermediate, catalyst role, product, arrows, and short annotations.
Physics
Generated November 2, 2025
Check geometry, variables, labels, and interpretation of constructive or destructive interference.
Create a physics figure showing double-slit interference with setup, path difference, pattern, variables, and one concise takeaway annotation.
Electrical engineering
Generated November 2, 2025
Verify polarity, component placement, notation, and formula accuracy.
Create a clean engineering figure for a non-inverting op-amp circuit with component labels, input, output, feedback path, and gain annotation.

Biology
Generated November 2, 2025
Confirm organelle names, relative placement, biological framing, and label clarity.
Create a scientific figure draft of a eukaryotic cell cross-section with organelles, relationship labels, and space for a caption.
Figure review boundary
A scientific figure is evidence-bearing communication. Before publication or teaching use, every label, chart, panel, image adjustment, and claim should be reviewed.
Compare plots, labels, panels, and visual conclusions against the actual source material.
Avoid unsupported enhancement, removal, relocation, or introduction of image features.
Check fonts, line weights, contrast, color accessibility, and panel spacing after reduction.
Confirm dimensions, resolution, accepted formats, captions, figure numbering, and disclosure rules.
Research figure workflow
Specify the figure purpose, panels, source data, labels, and the claim the figure should support.
Create a draft and refine hierarchy, annotations, panel labels, and visual relationships.
Review science, journal specs, image integrity, caption alignment, and final file format.
Method and accountability
The AcaDraw product team selected product-generated academic examples that represent common research figure jobs: charts, mechanisms, model architecture, circuits, physics diagrams, and cell figures.
The dedicated Open Graph image for this page was generated as a new project asset and is not reused from the existing academic gallery. Page examples remain workflow demonstrations and require author review.
Use target-journal instructions and publisher figure guides to verify dimensions, formats, image integrity rules, accessibility, and caption requirements. These links are for checking, not endorsements.

Scientific figure FAQ
It helps turn a figure idea into a visual draft with panels, labels, annotations, and structure. It is best used before human review, not as a final authority.
Yes. Describe the figure purpose, panels, labels, visual style, and source context in a prompt, then refine the result through chat.
Only after checking it against your source data, co-author expectations, journal policies, image integrity rules, and any AI-use disclosure requirements.
A scientific figure usually supports a specific result, method, dataset, or mechanism. A graphical abstract summarizes the overall paper story.
