Setting the size of neurons

 

nsize Set the size of neurons
<graphic> name of the graphic structure
-v <value> size for the neurons (usually relative to the SOM grid)
[-abs] <value> is to be used as an absolute value; otherwise it is relative to the SOM grid (default)

The sizes of the subgraphs can be set in two ways. The first possibility is to change the size of all (rectangular or circular) neurons using nsize. The parameter <value> usually means: relative to the basic size, which is computed based on the grid of the SOM. The second possibility is to specify the diameters of circular neurons using ndiam (described in section 7.3.4).

Example (ex7.13): The size of neurons is set to 0.5, which means that it is half of the distance between two neighboring neuron locations in the SOM grid.
