Best Practices and FAQ
Decide when to regenerate, revise, vectorize, or export your figure.
Regenerate, Revise, or Vectorize
| Situation | Best action |
|---|---|
| The scientific story is wrong | Regenerate or rewrite the prompt. |
| The layout is close but labels or style need work | Revise in Image Generation. |
| Only one area is confusing | Use a focused correction or redraw. |
| The figure is mostly final but needs precise cleanup | Move to Vectorization. |
| You need editable output for slides or design handoff | Vectorize and export the right format. |
Before Sharing a Figure
- Check every scientific label, abbreviation, and arrow direction.
- Confirm that the visual story matches your manuscript, slide, or protocol.
- Remove decorative clutter that does not support the message.
- Check readability at the final display size.
- Open exported files once before submission or presentation.
Responsible Use
Use references to guide structure and style. Make sure you have permission to upload or adapt any reference material, especially when it comes from published figures, slides, or collaborators.
Scientific review still matters
FigRay helps you produce figures faster, but it does not replace expert review. Always check the science before using a figure externally.
