Figure QA (render-then-verify)
Overview
A finished figure can look fine and still be wrong: a series plotted from the wrong column, a legend covering a data point, tick labels clipped at the axis edge, or a 150-dpi export that pixelates in print. This skill is a render-then-verify QA pass — it re-renders the figure and checks it against a concrete, measurable checklist before submission. It complements the plotting skills (which make figures); it does not create plots.
When to Use This Skill
Use this skill when the user wants to:
- Proof a finished figure for correctness and print-readiness before submission.
- Confirm the plot faithfully represents its data (every row/series accounted for).
- Catch overlapping or clipped labels, legends, and markers.
- Verify resolution / export settings (e.g. 300 dpi, vector where required).
