That is so cool. I can't wait to see it with say tabs.

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.
Very impressive.
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"?
I might suggest that it also have the ability to search for a given object or value in the tree. What would be really really cool but very hard would be to add a search with connection or relative location to another. I would also add further subcategories because I can see that getting very cluttered. For a large digital design it would be nice to group all the 0.1uF caps.
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)
I would use it but I would like to be able to turn it off when dealing with subcircuit blocks. I never get that complex.
Should sub-circuits expand hierarchically in the browser? (My instinct is "no" for now.
I agree that would lead to a real mess and defeat the purpose of having subcircuits. They exist so you can just deal with larger blocks. -- http://www.coe.neu.edu/~efoss/ http://evanfoss.googlepages.com/ _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
