get_node_edges(node: tvm.ir.expr.RelayExpr, relay_param: Dict[str, tvm.runtime.ndarray.NDArray], node_to_id: Dict[tvm.ir.expr.RelayExpr, str]) Tuple[Optional[tvm.contrib.relay_viz.interface.VizNode], List[tvm.contrib.relay_viz.interface.VizEdge]]

Get VizNode and VizEdges for a relay.Expr.

Parameters
  • node (relay.Expr) – relay.Expr which will be parsed and generate a node and edges.
