What is gattrib?
</H4>
Gattrib is gEDA's attribute editor. It reads a set of gschem .sch
files (schematic files), and creates a spreadsheet showing all
components in rows, with the associated component attributes listed in
the columns. It allows the user to add, modify, or delete component
attributes outside of gschem, and then save the .sch files back
out. When it is completed, it will allow the user to edit attributes
attached to components, nets, and pins. (Currently, only component
attribute editing is implemented; pin attributes are displayed only,
and net attributes are TBD.)
<p>
Gattrib is useful in situations where you need to view, add, modify,
or delete a number of attributes all at once. It saves you the pain
of clicking on each component and repeatedly using gschem's attribute
editor to modify component attributes. For example, if you create a
large design with generic components, and then later want to attach
"footprint" attributes to your components, it is a real hassle to do
so using gschem. In this situation, you can run gattrib on your
design files to attach the "footprint" attributes all at once using an
easy-to-use spreadsheet.
