In the last days I have done some work on the layout of a property
dialog area, see
http://ssalewski.de/tmp/prop.png
Basically I am satisfied, it is compact and not too ugly.
Now I wonder if gschem supports attached attributes for all elements,
even text elements, or only for symbols, pins and nets.
I was going to hide the attributes widgets for all elements but symbols,
nets and pins.
Indeed I can not really imagine what sense attributes for boxes or text
elements can make -- but on the other hand when the attributes widget
already exist, why not show it always.
A related question: For boxes we have mesh and hatch, with angle and
size parameters. Has someone ever used that for schematics? May cairo
drawing routine supports that from the early days, but I wonder if I
should offer all the related parameters for the user interface -- it may
confuse beginners, and when no one use it...
