=================================================
SVM: Separating hyperplane for unbalanced classes
=================================================

Find the optimal separating hyperplane using an SVC for classes that
are unbalanced.

We first find the separating plane with a plain SVC and then plot
(dashed) the separating hyperplane with automatically correction for
unbalanced classes.
