Re: gEDA: Bus breakout?

[John Griessen <john_g-at-NOSPAMcibolo_dot_com>]

When using the expensive Cadence schematic tools based on lisp, the
scripts to number busses are not too long, but I've not practiced at
guile yet to guess at how different that would be.  The concept is to
make a generator for an object with properties attached that is close to
what you need, and stretchable to be just what you need.  Busses that
fan out need parallel wires bending in a nested way, (bend vertices at
45 degrees for a right angle bend), and if the section of buss is going
around a few corners make a generator tool to created a buss with two
right angle bends already in it, then stretch to fit your schematic. 
This all depends on sections of busses being able to connect to others
by just overlapping their endpoints.  Connectivity has to be built in as
an attached property...
