<big>'''This is abandoned.'''</big> '''See [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Electronics/Programs#Programs_for_drawing_circuits]] for a variety of methods of drawing circuits for Wikipedia.''' I've been using a web program called [http://www.qsl.net/wd9eyb/klunky/framed.html klunky schematic editor] to draw [[User:Omegatron/Gallery|electronics diagrams]] for the WP. It just puts a bunch of components in square blocks together into a table. Sometimes I edit the screenshots afterwards for prettiness, but often just leave them the way they are and add text. A while ago I thought "we could just upload the individual blocks to the <s>wikipedia</s> commons itself and then make tables on the fly", but my initial experiment didn't work. 1. Duh. I just had extra whitespace in it. It works fine: <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td></td> <td></td> <td align="center">R<sub>1</sub></td> <td></td> </tr> <tr> <td></td> <td>[[Image:CircuitConn14.svg]]</td> <td>[[Image:CircuitR13.svg]]</td> <td>[[Image:CircuitConn34.svg]]</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right">V<sub>1</sub></td> <td>[[Image:CircuitVs24.svg]]</td> <td align="right">R<sub>2</sub></td> <td>[[Image:CircuitR24.svg]]</td> </tr> <tr> <td></td> <td>[[Image:CircuitConn12.svg]]</td> <td>[[Image:CircuitConn13.svg]]</td> <td>[[Image:CircuitConn23.svg]]</td> </tr> </table> (That's not a single image:) <table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td></td> <td></td> <td align="center">R<sub>1</sub></td> <td></td> </tr> <tr> <td></td> <td>[[Image:CircuitConn14.svg]]</td> <td>[[Image:CircuitR13.svg]]</td> <td>[[Image:CircuitConn34.svg]]</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right">V<sub>1</sub></td> <td>[[Image:CircuitVs24.svg]]</td> <td align="right">R<sub>2</sub></td> <td>[[Image:CircuitR24.svg]]</td> </tr> <tr> <td></td> <td>[[Image:CircuitConn12.svg]]</td> <td>[[Image:CircuitConn13.svg]]</td> <td>[[Image:CircuitConn23.svg]]</td> </tr> </table> 2. I just got the official word from the author a few days ago that he considers the program public domain, so there is definitely no problem with this. 3. The examples above previously used .png files; these have been replaced by .svg files. Only the symbols required for the examples are available in this vector collection, which is not an attempt to produce a comprehensive library.
