| nplc | Set the places of neurons related to an axis |
| <graphic> | name of the graphic structure |
| -ax <axis> | name of the axis: x, y or z |
| -f <field> | data field for the locations |
| nplc <graphic> -ax <axis> -rm | Set the neuron locations for one specified axis to 0.0 |
This operation sets the locations of neurons related to the x, y or z axis in three-dimensional space. Before using this command, the scale of the axis should be computed with axis (see section 7.2.7). The reserved field names som_x, som_y and som_z set the locations of neurons to the normal grid of the SOM.
Example (ex7.12): The following commands set the scales of the axes x and y to the absolute range [0,1]. Then, the locations of neurons are set according to two weights x_w and y_w. At the end, the visible layer is set to 3.
