This is a single file example for handwriting recognition using image processing
and neural 
network. Pre-requisites for this example are:
1. Scilab 5.3.1
2. SIVP Toolbox
3. IPD Toolbox
4. ANN Toolbox
All toolboxes are atoms modules. 
On top of that, one of the functions calling ANN function is from the Scilab
China Toolbox 
competition a few years ago, the author name is quoted under the function name,
however, th 
download page is unavailable at the moment. (The function is copied to the
bottom of the 
chargui2.sci as the sub function).
The ShowImage function is the modified version by Samuel Gougeon to show several
images on a GUI.

The recognition is done via a pre-trained network.
