I think there is another possibility. I attach two examples: zero.shape and component.shape which can be starting points for better designs. For 0 or 1 junctions i think the simplest shapes as the one I send can be enough. (with 0 and 1 "drawn" not written with characters; the connection points are away... you dont need more gaps). For components, a shape like component.shape would serve for all componentes, but may be preferable to have different objects for each component type. For bonds one could use the standard line .... (after programming the possibility of having flat endings); one can attach text-tags to them. But probably would be quite better to program a spetial line like the "Flow" object in the FS sheet.
