Draw a neural network diagram with matplotlib!

'''
Draw a neural network cartoon using matplotilb.
:usage:
>>> fig = plt.figure(figsize=(12, 12))
>>> draw_neural_net(fig.gca(), .1, .9, .1, .9, [4, 7, 2])
:parameters:
- ax : matplotlib.axes.AxesSubplot
The axes on which to plot the cartoon (get e.g. by plt.gca())
- left : float
The center of the leftmost node(s) will be placed here
- right : float
The center of the rightmost node(s) will be placed here
- bottom : float
The center of the bottommost node(s) will be placed here
- top : float
The center of the topmost node(s) will be placed here
- layer_sizes : list of int
List of layer sizes, including input and output dimensionality
