Alright. I'm going to experiment with this for some transistor model diagrams.

My naming convention (This stuff is just to prevent two versions of the same part from being uploaded, confusion, etc.):

prefix (to keep organized and not conflict with other images): ES for electronics schematics? name of part: wire, NPN, diode, Vsource, ... orientation determined by edges Originally this was done with numbers. I think N E S W are easier to follow and remember.

• For polar two-terminal parts, the edge it starts at followed by the edge it ends at ("starting at" I guess equals "more positive lead", which is still ambiguous, but whatever.).
• For non-polar two-terminal parts, um, start at the top and go clockwise? So it will be EW, not WE, and NS, not SN.
• For more than two terminals, I'm not sure yet. I guess pick a pin ordering (positive leads first?) and label them. So if the NPN ordering is CBE, and E is S, B is W, C is N, you get "NWS"

So some symbol names would be ES_wire_EW.png, ES_NPN_NWS.png, etc.

Should have a category for the images so we can keep track of them all. It would be nice if the category page could automagically generate a gallery...

If you have a better idea for labeling, please post it.
