TreeVis

A simple tool for visualizing n-ary trees formatted as "Parent(child1(...), child2(...), ...)", with leaves represented by "()" Created to visualize individuals created by EMADE

How to use:

• Clone repo
• Download graphviz (free) and add it to your system's path: https://graphviz.org/download/
• Add each individual you want to visualize to its own line in individuals.txt
• run python tree_vis.py and pngs will be created for each tree

Sample Input: (on 1st line of individuals.txt)

NNLearner(ARG0, OutputLayer(Conv1DLayer(6, eluActivation, 3, 32, myNot(trueBool), 44, LSTMLayer(16, defaultActivation, 0, ifThenElseBool(falseBool, trueBool, trueBool), trueBool, EmbeddingLayer(97, ARG0, glorotNormalWeights, InputLayer())))), 150, RMSpropOptimizer)

Output:

The else block in the make_nodes function can be altered to change node colors, shapes, etc

Advanced Usage:

• You can specify a different .txt file of individuals to visualize
• You can specify a .txt file with names for the PNGs created (one name per line, don't include a file extension)
• sample command: python tree_vis.py --tree_file_path new_individuals.txt --name_file_path names.txt
