No, the project is not death... I just managed to draw to a GTK drawing area, with zooming/panning/scrolling support. So very friendly people may already consider it a viewer for gschem schematics :-) See bottom of this page: http://www.ssalewski.de/PetEd-Demo.html.en I think one reason for start writing it was my desire to assign attributes/classes to subnets, to transfer this information to PCB to support manually- and auto-routing with already specified parameters for traces. I think, even if Anthonys Toporouter is in deep coma currently, such an application makes still some sense. So I can not promise that I will NOT continue this effort. I would be interested how many people can run the demo script (peted.rb) from the top of the above page. Are the needed rcairo bindings shipped with distributions like Ubuntu? If not, then it may be easier for people to install the whole gEDA package than to get such a short ruby script running. :-( Best wishes for the new year, Stefan Salewski _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
