# get_layer

## Retrieves a layer based on either its name (unique) or index.

## Description
 Indices are based on order of horizontal graph traversal (bottom-up) and are 1-based. If `name` and `index` are both provided, `index` will take precedence. 


## Usage
```r
 
get_layer(object, name = NULL, index = NULL) 
```

## Arguments
|Arguments|Description|
|---|---|
| object | Keras model object |
| name | String, name of layer. |
| index | Integer, index of layer (1-based). Also valid are negative values, which count from the end of model. |



## Value
 A layer instance.
