XCircuit is a program for drawing publishable-quality electrical circuit
schematic diagrams and related figures, and produce circuit netlists through
schematic capture. XCircuit regards circuits as inherently hierarchical, and
writes both hierarchical PostScript output and hierarchical SPICE netlists.
Circuit components are saved in and retrieved from libraries which are fully
editable. XCircuit does not separate artistic expression from circuit
drawing; it maintains flexiblity in style without compromising the power
of schematic capture.
XCircuit is flexible enough to be used as a generic program for drawing just
about anything, and is competitive with powerful programs such as xfig.
It is especially good for any task requiring repeated use of a standard set
of graphical objects, including architectural drawing, printed circuit board
(PCB) layouts, and music typography.
