Editing Incubator escapee wiki:Modular electronics schematics (section)

== My naming convention ==

(This stuff is just to prevent two versions of the same part from being uploaded, confusion, etc.):

prefix (to keep organized and not conflict with other images): ES for electronics schematics?
name of part: wire, NPN, diode, Vsource, ...
orientation determined by edges
Originally this was done with numbers.  I think N E S W are easier to follow and remember.  

*single terminal parts will just be labeled with whichever edge they connect on.
**Example: ES_term_S.png:
*:[[Image:ES_term_S.png]]
*For polar two-terminal parts, the edge it starts at followed by the edge it ends at ("starting at" I guess equals "where current starts at", which is still ambiguous, but whatever.).
**Example: ES_diode_NS.png:
*:[[Image:ES_diode_NS.png]]
*For more than two terminals, I'm not sure yet.  I guess pick a pin ordering (positive leads first?) and label them.  So if the NPN ordering is CBE, and E is S, B is W, C is N, you get "NWS"

*For non-polar parts, um, start at the top and go clockwise?  So it will be EW, not WE, and NS, not SN.
**Example: ES_wire_NSW.png:
*:[[Image:ES_wire_NSW.png]]

So some symbol names would be ES_wire_EW.png, ES_NPN_NWS.png, etc.

The first eight will be renamed after this is more definite:

Should have a [[:Category:Modular electronics schematics|category]] for the images so we can keep track of them all.  <s>It would be nice if the category page could automagically generate a gallery...</s>  (It does!  How beautiful!  Gold star to whoever put that in...)

If you have a better idea for labeling, '''please post it'''.
