A serious question here.. What do people use that API for (besides gnetlist backends). I ask, because I've got reason to suspect that doing anything interesting with it isn't really possible at the moment. (Adding / modifying components in arbitrary parts of the schematic). Many of the hooks available are fairly impotent to change the schematic structure / contents without risking a crash in the gschem / libgeda code which called the hook. (At the very least, gschem has no real way to know what changes you made and initiate a redraw ). I'm not saying we shouldn't have the guile API here.. I'm saying, does anyone use it in its present form? (IE.. what do we have to avoid breaking when fixing it "properly" at some later date?) -- 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
