ChenLiu-1996/figures4papers ? reverse-engineered prompt

I want to build a new publication quality figure script in this repo that matches the style of the existing papers figures. Please follow the scientific figure making skill in scientific-figure-making/SKILL.md and the design guidance in the reference files, and keep the output consistent with the examples already in the figure_* folders.

Please make the figure clean, readable, and polished enough for a top conference paper. I need the script to take my data, generate the final figure automatically, and save both a PNG and a PDF. If useful, use the existing helper patterns and styling conventions from this repository, and look up current docs online if you need to.

I’ll provide the data or arrays once you’ve set up the script, so please structure it in a way that is easy to edit later. If there are reasonable choices to make about layout, colors, labels, or export settings, make the best publication style choice you can.
