About VisualTorch

VisualTorch aims to help visualize Torch-based neural network architectures. It currently supports generating flow-style, graph-style, and LeNet-style architectures for PyTorch Sequential and Custom models. Its original visual styles were inspired by visualkeras, pytorchviz, pytorch-summary, and torchview; since then, it has grown its own unified tracing backend and architecture-handling logic well beyond its origins.
