12.2 The wiring matrix.

If ``v'' is selected in #12.1 above, the networks wiring will be displayed as a wiring matrix in ``view`` mode (it may be amended subsequently as a ``spread sheet``). The wire position of the cell's pseudo-neighbourhood, k-1...0, indexes columns, the cell network position, n-1...0, indexes rows (as in #11.6). The 0-0 grid (or the 0-minimum n grid if the whole matrix does not fit within one window) is in the lower right corner. Thus each grid shows the position to which each wire is coupled.

A column to the left of the cell index (coloured green) shows the out-degree (and out degree histogram) of each cell. Depending on whether or not the matrix display can fit in just one window, the following top right prompt is displayed,

MORE-ret, print-p, quit-q, jump to index (9800-0): (this example for a 2d network, 99x99)

(or) print-p, quit-q, jump to index (24-0): (this example for a 1d network, size 25)

``return'' exits the routine or allows further sections of the matrix to be viewed in successive windows, ``j`` jumps to a new cell index as in (see #11.6).``p'' prints the current matrix window. Enter ``q'' to stop viewing.
