[comp.ai.neural-nets] Seeking Graphics Tool for Simple NN

jdm5548@diamond.tamu.edu (James Darrell McCauley) (09/30/90)

Hello,
  I am seeking a tool which will generate a graphical 
representation of simple neural networks, preferably
using the X Window System or Sunview, to add a little
flash to my programming efforts.  Perhaps something
that shows a network diagram of connects, weights, inputs, etc.

  I'm relatively new to neural networks and have recently 
enrolled in an introductory neural network class.  My instructor
requires the students to do their own implementations, as 
opposed to using canned packages.  Now he's started asking
for graphics. (I thought I it was a NN class, not a programming
class!)

  Generating network diagrams seems like a major graph theory
problem (an area I know nothing about), but I was hoping that
perhaps someone may have developed something of this sort.  
The tool I'm seeking would not have to be very complicated, just
something to demonstrate the basic network for a limited number
of units for just a few architectures that I could link with
my programs.

  Please e-mail replys.  I'll summarize if appropriate.
Thank you.
