Critique academic figures

Review the rendered figures. Do not modify figures or source code unless the user asks for changes.

Find and render the figures

Use paths supplied by the user. Otherwise, resolve figures from the manuscript's TeX tree, including \includegraphics, \includesvg, \includestandalone, and figure-related \input commands. Ask only when multiple manuscript entrypoints remain plausible or the resolved set is unexpectedly broad.

Render each figure at its likely final dimensions when possible. Inspect multi-panel figures panel by panel and refer to specific panel labels in the findings.

Programmatic checks

Inspect file type, pixel dimensions, and intended display size. Judge format by content rather than extension:

• Expect raster output for photographs, microscopy, medical imaging, satellite imagery, screenshots, and other pixel-native data.
• Estimate effective DPI at final size. Treat roughly 300 DPI for photographic content and 600 DPI for rasterized line art as heuristics, not automatic verdicts.
