- gschem is the schematic capture program/tool which is part of gEDA.
-Its sole purpose is to facilitate the graphical input of
-components/circuits.
-
- Schematic capture is a fancy name for the ability to draw and
-layout circuits using a computer. Standard symbols are used to
-represent the various gates and components which are interconnected
-by nets (wires). Most vector drawing programs can be used for
-schematic capture but they usually lack one (or more) of the
-following characteristics:
-
- * The awareness of the electrical properties of components, nets,
- and pins.
- * Hierarchical design (having components represent some abstracted
- functionality). The ability to associate attributes with nets and
- components.
- * Generate netlists from the schematic.
-
- These are all critical features (among others which I cannot recall
-right now) which are shared by all schematic capture programs. The
-schematic capture program which is part of gEDA is called "gschem".
