DeTikZify is a Python library and research tool that uses multimodal large language models to synthesize TikZ/LaTeX graphics programs from scientific figures and sketches. It converts raster images of figures into editable vector TikZ code.

Use cases

• convert a scientific figure image into TikZ code
• recreate a sketch as editable LaTeX graphics
• vectorize a plot into TikZ programmatically
• generate LaTeX figures from images with an LLM
• reverse-engineer graphics into TikZ programs
• edit a figure by regenerating its TikZ source

When to choose

• you need editable TikZ/LaTeX source for an existing figure
• you work with scientific figures and want vector reproduction
• you want to experiment with multimodal LLMs for inverse graphics

When to avoid

• you need general-purpose image vectorization without TikZ output
• you have no GPU or LLM inference resources
• you need pixel-perfect raster-to-vector tracing
