Browse the figure gallery for previews. For step-by-step instructions, start with your first figure or a figure from CSV. This page lists standalone scripts.

These figures link to executable source in the repository. Commands below run from a checkout with Inklet installed. Review bundles need the preview dependencies; add --vectors-only where supported to save only SVG/PDF.

The main figure gallery keeps one card for each distinct goal. These source routes remain available here as focused variants and recorded studies; they are grouped to keep the page useful as a source index.

Layout and rendering studies: save and restore layouts, local layout editor, reusable plot compositions, dense plot engine review, rendering and nested layout, render jobs, and the twenty-panel stress test.

Microscopy variants: fluorescence channels, slab projections and oblique sections.

Anatomy variants: label an open anatomy model and the community connectivity plate.

3D scene studies: scene templates, scene annotations, scene paths, label movement revision, label crossing study, and the figure planner study.

Showcase and configuration variants: architectural sketch, direct plot collection, and presets.

A complete live document

The v2.5 example combines nested grids, measured architecture modules, plots, publication defaults and live data.

inklet build examples/v25_document.py --output out/v25 --name document

Start here when adapting Inklet for your own multi-panel figure. The smaller v2 example focuses on datasets and shared scales.

Twenty-panel stress test

Twenty-panel mixed-media stress figure

Native 3D, a measured architecture, network, dense scatter, statistical charts, polar response, Sankey flow and vector events share one page. The data are simulated and the meshes are generated locally.

python tools/stress20.py

Source · Workload, checks and findings

This command also exercises edits, cached compilation, provenance, resizing and independent SVG/PDF rendering. It takes longer than the small examples.

Direct drawing examples

Figure Source Run
Plot collection gallery.py python examples/gallery.py
Methods flow showcase_process.py python figures/showcase_process.py
Time series and heatmap showcase_season.py python figures/showcase_season.py
Labelled 3D part showcase_part.py python figures/showcase_part.py
Polar response polar.py python examples/polar.py

These use the direct API and may save next to their source scripts. Their output paths are defined in the scripts; they are not all CLI factory modules. The repository gallery lists additional figures and assets.

Scientific examples

The neural-activity example combines learning curves, a spike raster, a peri-event histogram and endpoint statistics. All observations are simulated from fixed seeds.

python figures/neural_activity.py

The structure figure draws the EGFR kinase from PDB 1M17 beside explicitly simulated assay data. See the third-party notices for the structure data and meshes.
