(sorry, looks like i made a private reply to andy and not to the list, so here's the msg)

I wrote that stuff for geda
i havent looked at it for years
I was dissapointed in the zoom and pan, and how to graphically handle the threads
so i wandered off looking at other connected box frameworks
ths morning as i looked at Node-Red's audio kit for Teensy ( a cnxd box gui )
https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/gui/
this email arrived,
odd coincidence

most guis have limitations, such as:
only 1 output
inputs only on one side
labeled nets
draggable elements
saving edits
netsfile->graphic->netfile
java dependancies (self imposed limitation)
lacking scaling of image
lacking meta-components aids in scaling issues)

i wanted a perfect solution and decided to lower my expectations (TM SNL)
i think it may be useful to use geda-schem to illustrate some conncetions
ditto for rockhopper and the eagle for hal effort
but i see no solution for a full netlist->graphic editor->netlist

Lift Architects of Boston did a rear projected FTIR touchtable for grasshopper diagrams ( connected boxes for rhino ), and that was the closest thing to my dream so far. Users could pinch and scroll and zoom a screen nearly 20"x80" to view the diagrams. I cant find the
videos now, maybe they are Vimeo not youtube.
yep

oh,its best to reiterate the basic idea
long lists of driving instructions suck, maps rule
long net lists suck, diagrams rule
short & sweet
