Network Preferences
Graphics
Color: allows the user to change the color of the various components within the network frame. The colors that can be changed are: Background, Line, Hot node, Cool node, Excitatory weight, Inhibitory weight, Lasso, Selection and Spiking. The current color selection is indicated by the color box located between the combo box and the "Set" button.
Background color: is the color of the network background.
Cool node color: is the color of a neuron that has an activation level less than zero.
Excitatory weight color: is the color of the synapse that has a strength greater than zero.
Hot node color: is the color of a neuron that has an activation level greater than zero.
Inhibitory weight color: is the color of the synapse that has a strength less than zero.
Lasso color: is the color of the line that appears when dragging the mouse to select neurons and weights.
Line color: is the color of the lines that connect neurons.
Selection color: is the color of the box that surrounds items that have been selected.
Spiking color: is the color of a neuron's outline (and outgoing synapse lines) when it spikes.
Weight size max/min: sets the maximum and minimum size a weight can be. This option only changes the graphical size of the weight and has no bering on how the weight behaves.
Logic
Round off neuron values: if selected will round neuron values as per the precision set by the user.
Precision of round-off: determines to what precision neuron values will be rounded off. Option is only available when "Round off neuron values" is enabled.
Misc.
Indent network files: makes network xml files easier to read should the user need to make any changes to these files.
Nudge amount: is the amount of indent to be used when indenting network files. This option is only valid when "Indent network files" is selected.
