"""
Demo of a function to create Hinton diagrams.

Hinton diagrams are useful for visualizing the values of a 2D array (e.g.
a weight matrix): Positive and negative values are represented by white and
black squares, respectively, and the size of each square represents the
magnitude of each value.

Initial idea from David Warde-Farley on the SciPy Cookbook
