What I see in example is great! I really like it. Thank you for your efforts
to made that couple standard symbols and wrote that guidelines. Anyone else
now is working on symbol library?

<p>In the attachment there is a very rudimentary example of my curren=
t<br>
ideas. The style system bases to the raster size 100 with half raster<br>
snapping. There are six size classes ([640k]should be enough for<br>
everyone...) with &#39;outline&#39; 12, &#39;thin&#39; 4, &#39;pin/line&#39=
; 6, &#39;bold&#39; 8,<br>
&#39;heavy&#39; 14 and &#39;thick&#39; 20 percent of the raster.<br>
<br>
For some more details please take a look at:<br>

About the attachment, bold is used on US resistor symbol, VR wipers and<br>
NMOS Gate. Heavy on EC92 cathode. Thick on EC92 plate, NMOS chanel and<br>
capacitor plates. What I also would like to do is small shrink of the<br>
default resistor length to better match the rest of the symbols. Though<br>
this is something I&#39;m not yet quite decided upon.<br>
<br>
I also see that everyone would not be pleased with the exact values I&#39;v=
e<br>
chosen, but I&#39;d like to emphasize that this is not one size fits all<br=

Oh and before this discussion diverges too much, it&#39;s just about drawin=
