PlotNeuralNet: Latex Code for Drawing Neural Networks

PlotNeuralNet

Latex code for drawing neural networks for reports and presentation. Have a look into examples to see how they are made. Additionally, lets consolidate any improvements that you make and fix any bugs to help more people with this code.

TODO

• Python interfaz
• Add easy legend functionality
• Add more layer shapes like TruncatedPyramid, 2DSheet etc
• Add examples for RNN and likes.

PyUsage

mkdir my_project
cd my_project
vim my_arch.py

    import sys
    sys.path.append('../')
    from pycore.tikzeng import *

    # defined your arch
    arch = [
        to_head( '..' ),
        to_cor(),
        to_begin(),
        to_Conv("conv1", 512, 64, offset="(0,0,0)", to="(0,0,0)", height=64, depth=64, width=2 ),
