PaperBanana-CN generates methodology diagrams from research descriptions and statistical plots from CSV or JSON data. It uses the PaperBanana scientific workflow and adds separate VLM and image-service connections, a Chinese Studio interface, and explicit aspect-ratio and resolution controls.
One run from input to figure

The recording follows a methodology-diagram run from submitted inputs to the completed result.
Before you start
You need Python 3.10-3.12, uv, and a desktop browser.
Each connection specifies its own protocol, Base URL, API key, model name, and timeout. The VLM and image roles may use the same service or two different services.
Quick start
1. Launch Studio
uvx paperbanana-cn studioOpen . uvx runs the package in an isolated environment and does not modify Debian or Ubuntu's system Python.
2. Add the model connections
Open Settings → VLM connection, fill in the service fields, and select Save and use. Repeat under Image connection before generating a methodology diagram.
Editing a saved connection does not activate it. An empty API-key field keeps the stored key. Studio does not fill stored keys back into the browser.

The connection guide lists the supported protocols, credential storage rules, connection tests, and legacy mode.
3. Generate a figure
Open Methodology diagram, provide the method content and figure caption, then choose an aspect ratio, resolution, and output format.
The same task from the CLI:
Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.
