Python script for illustrating Convolutional Neural Network (ConvNet)
Line2D doesn't seem to work well under python3 + matplotlib 2.0.0 as pointed out by @ahoereth
The solution is to use follow these instructions.
$ python3 -m venv .venv
$ source .venv/bin/activate
$ pip install -r requirements_python3.txt
It is NOT required to cite anything to use the code.
If you are not facing space limitation and it does not break the flow of the paper, you might consider adding something like "This figure is generated by adapting the code from https://github.com/gwding/draw_convnet" (maybe in the footnote).
FYI, originally I used the code to generate the convnet figure in this paper "Automatic moth detection from trap images for pest management".
