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.
- single terminal parts will just be labeled with whichever edge they connect on.
- Example: ES_term_S.png:
- For polar two-terminal parts, the edge it starts at followed by the edge it ends at ("starting at" I guess equals "where current starts at", which is still ambiguous, but whatever.).
- Example: ES_diode_NS.png:
- 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"
- For non-polar parts, um, start at the top and go clockwise? So it will be EW, not WE, and NS, not SN.
- Example: ES_wire_NSW.png:
So some symbol names would be ES_wire_EW.png, ES_NPN_NWS.png, etc.
The first eight will be renamed after this is more definite:

File:Conn34.png | |
| V1 | File:Vs42.png | R2 | File:R24.png |
| File:Conn12.png |  |
File:Conn23.png |
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... (It does! How beautiful! Gold star to whoever put that in...)
If you have a better idea for labeling, please post it.
Good examples

Ok. I'm not going to do anything else with this until I get some comments, to avoid creating a huge mess and having someone come along and say "you know, it would have been much easier and better if you had just done this..."
So please comment. Can you think of any way this idea can be improved? Labeling? Text markup?
Yet another reason to have a separate table namespace...
