    【工具推荐】PaperBanana--顶会级Figure直出 — 与以往「只会画图像」的生成模型不同,PaperBanana 强调两点:不是只要「画得好看」,而是必须「画得正确」。 它要保证:模块之间的逻辑关系不出错、数据表达符合科研规范、图可以直接服务论文叙事,而不是装饰。 研究指出,[PaperBanana](https://paper-banana.org/) 可以覆盖多种常见学术插图类型,包括方法流程图、模型结构示意图、概念性框架图,以及通过代码驱动生成的高精度统计图。 让我们看看实际效果如何。 PaperBanana 展现出了处理两类学术插图的能力: 首先是论文方法流程图与模型结构示意图,主要用于阐述算法的运作机制(左侧);其次是统计图表,用于呈现实验结果与数据对比分析(右侧)。 ![…

# Design Brief: Minimal Monochrome

Monochrome palette with a single accent color, hairline dividers, and generous whitespace.

## Design Tokens

```css
:root {
  --background: #f6f7f9;
  --surface: #ffffff;
  --foreground: #1a1d26;
  --muted-foreground: #8a909a;
  --accent: #1e3a8a;
  --radius: 8px;
  --font-heading: "Inter", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
  --font-body: "Inter", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
}
```

Color area ratio: Background #F6F7F9 (~62%) · Surface #FFFFFF (~18%) · Text #1A1D26 (~8%) · Muted Text #8A909A (~8%) · Accent #1E3A8A (~4%). Background and surface dominate the canvas; reserve the accent color for primary buttons and active states.

## Layout & Conversion Structure

- Hero layout: Split Copy & Visual
- Navigation: Full-Width Top Bar
- Theme & density: Light · Airy
- Border radius & elevation: Medium Radius; no drop shadows—separate layers with hairline borders and whitespace
- Primary visual medium: Illustration / Character Art
- Conversion CTA: Start Free / Sign Up
- Headline hook: Category Positioning Anchor
- Hero components: Video Demo
- Spatial layout notes: Split Copy & Visual hero structure paired with start free / sign up CTA and no explicit trust bar.
- Visual summary: Minimal Monochrome (Light canvas, airy density) featuring split copy & visual layout and illustration / character art visuals.

## Avoid

- Multi-stop neon gradients
- Heavy drop shadows
- More than one competing accent color

Implement the UI following the design tokens and layout specifications above: use only these color variables, and reserve the accent color strictly for primary actions and active states. Adopt only this visual style—never copy any reference product’s brand name, logo, copy, or imagery.
