multi-panel-figure-assembler

What This Skill Does

The multi-panel-figure-assembler is a specialized OpenClaw agent skill designed to streamline the creation of high-quality, publication-ready composite figures. It takes exactly six individual image files—conventionally labeled A through F—and arranges them into a professional grid layout. The tool handles the heavy lifting of image alignment, padding, and labeling, ensuring that your scientific or technical figures maintain a consistent aesthetic across all panels. By automating the grid generation process, the skill eliminates manual editing steps in complex software, allowing researchers to produce consistent figures with specified resolutions (DPI) and custom typography.

Installation

To integrate this tool into your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/aipoch-ai/multi-panel-figure-assembler

Once installed, the tool is immediately available for use within your AI-assisted workflows. Ensure your environment has the necessary image processing libraries installed as outlined in the source repository documentation.

Use Cases

This skill is ideal for academic researchers, data scientists, and technical writers who need to:

• Aggregate individual experimental plots into a single cohesive figure for manuscripts.
• Maintain strict formatting standards (label font size, padding, and border width) across multiple figures.
• Generate high-DPI output suitable for professional journal submission.
• Automate the repetitive task of grid layout, saving time when preparing extensive figure sets.

Example Prompts

1. "I have six PNG plots ready in my current directory. Please assemble them into a 2x3 grid named final_composite.png at 600 DPI."
2. "Use my files imgA.jpg through imgF.jpg to build a 3x2 composite. Please set the labels to size 32, position them in the top-left corner, and add a padding of 20 pixels."
3. "I need to combine these 6 results panels into a publication-ready figure. Ensure the output is saved as high_res_figure.png with a border width of 4."

Tips & Limitations

• Strict Input Requirement: This tool enforces a strict 6-panel limitation. It will not process fewer or more than 6 images. If you have a different number of panels, you must use alternative manual tools.
• File Formats: Ensure all input files are in a common, supported image format before initiating the skill.
• Pre-processing: For best results, ensure all sub-panels share the same aspect ratio to prevent uneven borders within the generated grid.
• Customization: While the skill supports flexible styling, avoid using excessively large padding values that might crowd the content of your sub-figures.
