What LaTeX packages are available for circuit diagrams? [closed]

Question

I am trying to generate publication-quality circuit diagrams within a LaTeX document. What options are available?

Answer 1

Tikz has a set of circuit macros. Furthermore, you can have a look to CircuitTikz. Here is the page on ctan.

Answer 2

PGF/TiKZ might help.

Answer 3

My colleague Dr. Kimmo Silvonen and I decided to open source the circuit diagram macros we use for preparing our lecture material. Feel free to use it, give feedback and add new symbols:

There are other good packages (circuitikz is my personal favourite), but these macros are easy to use and require neither extra packages nor knowledge about PGF/TikZ.

Answer 4

If you were to prefer Metapost over PGF/TikZ, there's Tomasz Cholewo's mpcirc package.

Answer 5

I have no clue how well either of them works, but it might be useful to examine the circ and circuit-macros packages. (Source: The TeX Catalogue Online)

Answer 6

I recently came across fancy (maybe robust) examples of circuit drawing using TIKZ. Please check them out: http://www.texample.net/tikz/examples/area/electrical-engineering/
