gspiceui
What is gspiceui?
The name gspiceui is a compaction of GNU Spice GUI. It is intended to provide
a GUI for two freely available electronic circuit simulation engines: GNU-Cap
and Ng-Spice.
What does it look like?

So what can gspiceui do?
Current features:
- Import gschem schematic files using gentlist.
- Load and parse circuit description (net list) files.
- Provides a GUI interface for GNU-Cap OP, DC, AC and Transient analyses and generates appropriate simulator commands based on user input.
- Provides a GUI interface for Ng-Spice DC, AC and Transient analyses and generates appropriate simulator commands based on user input.
- The raw output may be viewed for any processes initiated by gspiceui.
- Formatting of simulator output so that it may be plotted using gwave.
What features are missing from gspiceui?
Wish list features:
- Complete GUI interface for NG-Spice.
- Complete GUI interface for GNU-Cap.
- Place buttons to select and de-select all items in "Nodes" and "Components" list boxes.
- List sub-circuit component labels (eg. R1.X2) in the "Components" list box.
- Create simulator engine selection/configuration dialogue.
- Create tool bar with the following buttons: Open Import Reload Close | Create Run Stop | View
- Give the user the option of deleting all files generated by GSpiceUI on close or exit.
- Develop a mechanism so that the user can enter model parameters (eg. from a data book) to be converted into model definitions in a library of components.
- Add configuration file functionality.
- Allow the user to specify the results precision; a lower precision makes the raw data easier to read, a higher precision gives more accuracy / resolution.
- Use standard component values in PnlValue controls displaying R, L or C values.
- Automatically add .MODEL statements to net list file if they are missing.
What does the version number mean?
The version numbering scheme uses the format: vA.B.CD
A is the major release number (rarely updated).
B is the minor release number (infrequently updated).
CD is the modification increment number (incremented as a result of almost any modification).
For example version 1.0 would be designated v1.0.00, any version with a major
release number of 0 is pre-version 1.0. Until version 1.0.00 is released the
version number will represent a percentage of the development completed towards
version 1.0.00. Eg. v0.5.60 would signify that roughly %56 of the development
effort has been completed towards version 1.0.00.
