How to stop a generated graphic inventing the numbers and labels on it
Tell Vizard Agent to generate the graphic with no text in it at all, then lay your own figures and labels over it as real typography. A generator asked for a stat card will fill the space with numbers that look right and are not yours. Vizard Agent proofreads each finished card at full size to catch the ones that slipped through.
What do you type into Vizard Agent?
Say "no text in the image" as a separate instruction of its own. Next to a description of the graphic it reads as redundant, but it is the single sentence that changes what comes back. Supply the real figures too: Vizard Agent can only refuse to invent a figure if there is a real one to use instead.
Prompt
What does Vizard Agent actually do?
A generated diagram wants to look complete. Given a refinery it adds pipe labels, given a chart it adds an axis with values, and given a document prop it writes a name on it. None of those came from you. Rebuilding the cards is the easy half; the proofreading afterwards is what stops the next one going out wrong. In the session behind this article it:
- Verified the key numbers against the source before anything was built, then reviewed the explainer's generated graphics as a set.
- Rebuilt the diagrams with no invented labels in them.
- Proofread the text in every graphic, then the stat cards and callouts separately, and regenerated the cards that failed without text.
- Checked one card frame by frame and fixed a duplicated entry on it, the kind that reads as a list at playback size rather than as a mistake.
- Inspected the document prop and the end card at full size, and generated the document still blank, with no names on it.
When does this not work well?
Some graphics are mostly text, and a text-free version of them is nothing. A chart with no axis labels or a comparison table with no headings has to be built as typography rather than generated at all. Handwriting or signage in a scene is hard to keep blank, and generators mangle non-Latin scripts, so those are better overlaid.
Common questions
Why does it invent figures at all? Because a card with an empty space looks unfinished. Vizard Agent removes the space instead.
Can I just tell it the right number? Yes, and also say no others. Otherwise Vizard Agent may add more alongside it.
What about a document in the background? Ask Vizard Agent to generate it blank. Someone always pauses.
