Hi again, Well, after a lot of fiddling, I actually made a pretty good amount of progress. I've added tooltips to BJTs informing you if you overrate them and what specifications have been overrated.
See screenshot: http://img268.imageshack.us/img268/934/overnpn.png Work needs to be done on separating parts of the drawing code from calculation code, as it's still a big hack. Then applying it to other components like ICs, capacitors, and resistors. Finally I need to figure out how to post a patch, because I haven't really kept track of files I changed. (Though my editor, KDevelop, leaves backup files like 'main.c~' which is useful in seeing which files have been modified.) I have made a modification which lets components set their own tooltips. At the moment these tooltips are all, by default, set to the component name. I was thinking of adding useful info like power dissipation, charge in a capacitor, etc. to the tooltips. Any other ideas?
