To edit an ONNX model, One common way is to visualize the model graph, and edit it using ONNX Python API. This works fine. However, we have to code to edit, then visualize to check. The two processes may iterate for many times, which is time-consuming.

What if we have a tool, which allow us **edit and preview the editing effect in a totally visualization fashion**? Then `onnx-modifier` comes. With it, we can focus on editing the model graph in the visualization pannel. Finally, all editing information will be summarized and processed by Python ONNX automatically. Most importantly, our time will be saved!

`onnx-modifier` is built based on the popular network viewer [netron](https://github.com/lutzroeder/netron) and the lightweight web application framework [flask](https://github.com/pallets/flask).

`onnx-modifier` is under active development. Welcome to use, create issues and pull requests.
How can we do this using `onnx-modifier`? Note that there is a `RENAME HELPER` section in the node sidebar. All the original input and output name of a node is listed here, each following with a input field. we can input the new name here. After clicking the `Preview` button, the graph will be rendered with the new name (and a new model forward routine).
For example, Now we want remove the preprocess operators (`Sub->Mul->Sub->Transpose`) shown in the following figure. We can
1. click on the first `Conv` node, rename the original input name as *serving_default_input:0*.
2. delete the node between input node and the first `Conv`
3. click `Preview` to preview, then click `Download`, we can get the modified ONNX model.
