It is used to draw electronic <em>schematics</em>, which describe the logical structure of an circuit. Schematics are made up of <em>symbols</em>, which represent the various components in the circuit, and are obtained either from a standard library or created by the user. The connections between components are represented by <em>nets</em> (wires). Schematics may be printed to a PostScript file for printing or further conversion to other output formats. Output to various image formats is also supported. </p> <p> gschem can also be used for editing symbols for use in schematics, and for drawing block diagrams of electronics designs. </p> </div> <!-- EDIT669 SECTION "Introduction" [157-948] --> <h3 class="sectionedit670"><a name="reading_this_guide" id="reading_this_guide">Reading this guide</a></h3> <div class="level3"> <p> Several typographical conventions are used in this guide to describe things you might see in gschem or actions you might take. </p> <ul> <li class="level1"><div class="li"> When key terms or concepts are introduced, an <em>italic typeface</em> is used.
