%DEMHINT Demonstration of Hinton diagram for 2-layer feed-forward network.
%
%	Description
%
%	DEMHINT plots a Hinton diagram for a 2-layer feedforward network with
%	5 inputs, 4 hidden units and 3 outputs. The weight vector is chosen
%	from a Gaussian distribution as described under MLP.
%
%	DEMHINT(NIN, NHIDDEN, NOUT) allows the user to specify the number of
%	inputs, hidden units and outputs.
%
