## Class SubstrateFactory

- java.lang.Object
- - org.encog.neural.hyperneat.substrate.SubstrateFactory

-     public class SubstrateFactory
      extends Object

  Produce substrates for various topologies. Currently provides the sandwich topology. You can create any topology you wish, this is simply a convienance method. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.cs.ucf.edu/~kstanley/ Encog's NEAT implementation was drawn from the following three Journal Articles.

          public static Substrate factorSandwichSubstrate(int inputEdgeSize,
                                          int outputEdgeSize)

      Create a sandwich substrate. A sandwich has an input layer connected directly to an output layer, both are square.
      Parameters:
        `inputEdgeSize` - The input edge size.
        `outputEdgeSize` - The output edge size.
      Returns:
        The substrate.
