exporting schematic for latex and changing paper size in geda

Sep 09, 2005 1 Replies

Hi,



I am currently experimenting with geda and ngspice to simulate basic circuits (for a Circuits Analyses course). I drew a basic circuit in geda and exported it as netlist and got: ####################################################### $> gnetlist -v -g spice-sdb sch_1.sch -o sch_1.net ... (followed by lots of output) ... $> cat sch_1.net



  • gnetlist -v -g spice-sdb -o sch_1.net sch_1.sch

*********************************************************

********************************************************* V1 2 3 10V R2 1 3 50K R1 2 1 100K .END #######################################################


I was wondering:



  1. How can I specify within geda which nodes I want monitored during a simulation? Or do I specify them on ngspice command line, or in the output .net file?
  2. How do I export the schematic so that I can include it in a LaTeX file (as PS file perhaps)? I tried exporting it as PNG but I get the whole big 'sheet' with my tiny circuit in the middle.
  3. How do I change the size of the 'sheet' or paper so that it is just big enough to accomodate my little circuits?

thanks,

Please remove the underscores ( the \'_\' symbols) from my email address to obtain the correct one. Apologies, but the fudging is to remove spam.

First of all, you would get much better answers on the geda-user mailing list.

Print doesn't actually print anything, but produces postscript. There is an option to print what is currently displayed. I just zoom in until I just have what I want, and then use the print dialog. There is also an option for extents with margins and extents without margins. These methods have worked for me in the past to get schematics into LaTeX.
