Abstract
Plane Geometry Diagram Synthesis has been a crucial task in computer graphics, with applications ranging from educational tools to AI-driven mathematical reasoning. Traditionally, we rely on manual tools (e.g., Matplotlib and GeoGebra) to generate precise diagrams, but this usually requires huge, complicated calculations. Recently, researchers start to work on model-based methods (e.g., Stable Diffusion and GPT5) to automatically generate diagrams, saving operational cost but usually suffering from limited realism and insufficient accuracy. In this paper, we propose a novel framework GeoSDF, to automatically generate diagrams efficiently and accurately with Signed Distance Field (SDF). Specifically, we first represent geometric elements (e.g., points, segments, and circles) in the SDF, then construct a series of constraint functions to represent geometric relationships. Next, we…

1. The paper introduce GeoSDF, a novel and accurate framework for synthesizing plane geometry diagrams by optimizing SDF representation against symbolic mathematical constraints. 2. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. GeoSDF not only synthesizes geometric diagrams that are consistent with the problem statements but also provides quantitatively accurate results, highlighting its strong quantifiability.
1. The ablation study in Section 4.7 is overly simple. More comprehensive ablation studies as well as qualitative results are suggested; 2. The hyper-parameter \tau_r in Equation 2 is not explicitly specified, and this parameter can affect the optimized SDF results, ultimately influencing the rendered geometric diagrams. It is recommended that the authors provide the value of this hyper-parameter and analyze how its selection impacts the experimental outcomes; 3. The hyper-parameter λ mentioned
Strengths: 1. GeoSDF is a very reasonable approach for constructing geometry diagrams for problems. 2. The evaluation shows that the method works.
Weaknesses: 1. This is a fairly natural way to create diagrams. Turning symbolic constraints solving into an optimization problem is also a common technique. 2. The connection to ML is basically through the use of gradient descent for solving an optimization problem. And then there is the "solve-by-construction" paradigm discussed next. 3. The construction-based approach, as described here, can only solve certain problems where one is asked to measure an angle or segment. Furthermore, it is argu
The strengths lie in its novel and unified design: it introduces an SDF-based formulation that encodes geometric constraints in a fully differentiable manner, allowing optimization and verification within the same framework. Empirically, GeoSDF achieves strong results across several benchmarks, clearly outperforming prior neural and multimodal LLM-based solvers. The outputs are both quantifiable and interpretable, supporting precise visualization and direct geometric reasoning from a shared re
The weaknesses mainly center on generality and robustness. While GeoSDF performs impressively on polygonal and circular figures, it lacks discussion or demonstration of more complex composite geometries—such as spline curves, conic sections, or freeform loci—which limits its expressive scope. Furthermore, the optimization procedure may struggle with severely underdetermined or overconstrained systems, yet the paper includes few examples analyzing these failure modes. The reliance on a fine-tune
