From a clear idea to a complete figure

Four real figures. Explore the reasoning, then make an editable copy and try it yourself.

01 / Beginner

A process at a glance

Turn a methods paragraph into a clear four-stage route. The reader should understand the order before reading the details.

Four editable stages connected in reading order.

Build it in three steps

Choose one icon per stage and give each a short label.
Join the stages with arrows; the order stays explicit.
Replace the labels with your own method and export a crisp figure.

02 / Intermediate

Explain a signaling route

Separate the outside and inside of a cell, then show activation and inhibition as different relationships. This is a generic notation example, not a verified biological pathway.

A generic signaling scheme with an explicitly labeled inhibitor.

Build it in three steps

Place the receptor at the boundary between compartments.
Connect the ligand, kinase and nucleus; add a flat-ended inhibition link.
Move an object to see attached connections follow it, then adapt the legend.

03 / Advanced

Tell a story with data

Compare two illustrative time courses while keeping the source table in the figure. The lines connect supplied observations; the intervals are explicit lower and upper bounds.

Two native line series with explicit bounds and preserved source values.

Build it in three steps

Inspect the demonstration table and its column mapping.
Select the chart in the editor to change labels, series styles or data.
Export the figure together with its source table; no statistics are inferred.

Show demonstration data

Illustrative data, not experimental results. Bounds are supplied examples, not calculated confidence intervals.

Time (h)	Signal (a.u.)	Series	Lower bound	Upper bound
0	20	Control	17	23
6	24	Control	21	27
12	29	Control	25	33
24	34	Control	30	38
0	20	Condition B	17	23
6	35	Condition B	31	39
12	51	Condition B	46	56
24	70	Condition B	64	76

04 / Complete figure

Compose a publication figure

Bring a study design, original scientific illustrations and a native chart into one A/B/C narrative. Start with what was done, show the model, then show the readout.

A/B/C composition with editable labels, two original AI illustrations and a native chart.

Build it in three steps

Read panel A for the workflow and panel B for the illustrative carrier and cell.
Inspect panel C and replace the demonstration values with your own observations.
Edit the caption, run publication checks and export SVG, PNG, TIFF, PDF or a project package.
