This is a pythonized version of (Borland Delphi) AACircuit (by Andreas Weber).
A kind of reverse engineered version, where the idea and GUI layout are taken from the original.

For the ASCII representation, use copy or "Save ASCII". Use a monospaced font in your document, news- or mailclient!

Component library: User components are read from optional file components/user_component_x.json (x=1..5)
Every symbol has to be created for all four directions (N/E/S/W).


Usage
=====
Download the zip-file, unzip, go to the AACircuit directory and run: python aacircuit.py


Dependencies
============
Python3
xerox
pypubsub
bresenham
Gtk+ 3


Windows
============
use pacman if prefer to list full architecture
package explicitly (e.g. i686, x86_64 on msys2)

pacboy -S gtk3 python-pywin32 python-gobject
pip install xerox pypubsub bresenham
