Subject: Re: Help: Newbie writing a report- Help in drawing diagrams
particularly circuits
Well first thanks for all your replies. I appreciate it.
I managed to get an extension regarding my report till next week thought with
additional reports to write. I did the most obvious solution & thats using
pencil, paper & a scanner. I just installed Dia & will try it tomorrow
hopefully. It seems user-friendly, but in case do you suggest any guide or help
file or is the documentation enough ?
By the way, it seems it doesn't contains any sheets for physics besides
"circuit" & "ChemEng". Can you help in this please as I have other labs soon
enough in Mechanics & Thermodynamics & Atomic physics?
thanks

Sincerely Yours,

As others have suggested...
for low learning curve: stencil sets and pen/paper + a scanner
for quick but limited computer aided drawing including circuits: dia [can
export to TeX with
pstricks or one of the image formats]
for computer aided schematics (2D circuit diagrams): gschem from the gEDA
set of tools [output to an
image format]
under RHEL/CentOS after you have enabled the EPEL repository it is only a
`yum install geda-gschem`
away. I also suggest installing geda-docs.
AFAIK it is also in fedora in these packages.
It took a couple of hours to get fairly comfortable with it for me, but I
had not used a circuit
editor before, only DIA and a couple of CAD programs.
