PaperLab Figure Accessibility Style
When to Use
USE WHEN: a book has many figures, generated plots, process diagrams, maps, or
technical images that must be readable in HTML, PDF, projection, and print.
Pair with:
technical_figure_understanding for content interpretation,figure_discussion for teaching context,generate_publication_figures for regeneration.

Output Schema
{
"figure": "figures/ch20_optimization_frontier.png",
"class": "evidence figure",
"status": "minor-revision",
"issues": ["legend overlaps high-value data", "caption lacks engineering implication"],
"recommended_fix": "Move legend outside plot and add one sentence on the trade-off."
}
Safety Rules
- Do not change scientific meaning for style consistency.
- Preserve original source figures when provenance requires exact reproduction.
- Keep accessibility fixes compatible with grayscale PDF.
