Ok, what's the standard for inverted pins in symbols? How do I (or
do I) put the bar over the text? Specifically, I'm adding the
pinlabel attribute to a pin on a symbol, and having it displayed
inside the big box that's the "component", and adding the inversion
bubble. But I'd like to have the bar over the name, either also or
instead, like:
40 | ___
-----()| BHE
I like it that way, too.
To put the bar over the text you have to sum up the width of the used
characters.
In tragesym there's a lookup table for that task char --> charwidth.
Net names should have the bar over them too, once I get to that
point.
Also, is there some standard for:
1. Where pin numbers get placed
Outside, 100 mils away (enough space for negation bubbles)
right alignment for left pins, left aligment for right pins
2. Where pin labels get placed
Inside, 50 mils away from the box, left bottom alignment for left pins,
right bottom alignment for right pins, center bottom for bottom pins
and center top for top pins.
3. Spacing and text angle for pins on the top/bottom of box-symbols
If there are only a few pins on the top, or bottom rotation is IHMO not
nesseccary.
e.g. ATmega163_DIP.sym
For symbols with lots of pins it's useful to rotate labels and
attributes:
e.g. MSP430x13-4x.sym
