Yes, you can draw one in the symbol editor. The easiest thing to do is to get a source out of the spice directory which is close to what you want, then do right mouse->down symbol, and then redraw the symbol to your liking usign the graphical elements available in the toolbar. Do edit->toggle attribute visibility and then give your dependent source a DEVICE attribute which will be recognized by spice-sdb. When you are done modifying the symbol, save it out under a new name. > Currently, I just change the attributes of an independent source to make > it dependent.

The process of creating symbols is documented in the docs distributed with gEDA/gaf. Alternately, you can just do what I outline above, and with a little playing around, you will have learned the symbol editor. It is quite easy. Have fun! Stuart
