I'm playing with producing a "page tree" to operate with libgeda / gschem, so the hierarchy or content of a page can be seen easily.
In addition to being "nice", it allows certain data-structures to be visualised (ensuring they are correct), and is a nice test-case for hooking libgeda to update a window as design modifications take place. A preliminary screen shot is at: http://www2.eng.cam.ac.uk/~pcjc2/geda/geda_page_contents.png (The contents of the tree shown is a mock-up). Double-clicking on items in the page tree should open them - and perhaps there could be a right click menu too - with more options. Clicking on a net-name should highlight all the connected pieces on the page. Some annotation needs to be added to components - so you can see if they are embedded or not. Questions: What views / information could / should be presented in this browser? (Are there any other types of object we need to see listed? - I know I missed buses - should these come under "nets"? Is this useful to real users - or just as a test of libgeda hooking? (This will determine how much effort is put into polishing it) Should sub-circuits expand hierarchically in the browser? (My instinct is "no" for now. -- Peter Clifton Electrical Engineering Division, Engineering Department, University of Cambridge, 9, JJ Thomson Avenue, Cambridge CB3 0FA Tel: +44 (0)7729 980173 - (No signal in the lab!) _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
