HORIZON-EDA(1)

👑 HORIZON-EDA 💅

okay bestie, so this is the manual page for horizon-eda — a General Commands Manual situation, and yes it is exactly as iconic as it sounds. pull up a chair, grab a strawberry, and let's get into it 🍓✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

horizon-eda — the EDA layout and schematic application. that's Electronic Design Automation, before you ask. she does both layout AND schematic. main character energy fr fr 💖

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

horizon-eda -h, --help | --help-all | --help-gapplication | --help-gtk |
--diplay=<DISPLAY>

run her with any of those and see what happens. yes, that last one is spelled exactly like that up there in the synopsis. copy it character for character, don't get creative 💀

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so this manual page documents the horizon-eda command. that's the whole assignment. 📝

horizon-eda is an Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tool for circuit board design. she handles the full design flow — from schematic entry all the way through to gerber export. the whole arc, no skips, beginning to end, periodt 👑

the main differentiator from KiCAD is a different (more sane) part library design. and honestly? "more sane" is the whole pitch and we respect it so much 🫶

it's quite new software in 2018 so it may have rough edges, but it is already very capable. new baby software, still glowing up, already doing the most ✨

Notable features — the vibe check she passes:

• Sane library management 🗂️
• Unified editor for everything from symbol to board
• Netlist-aware schematic editor
• KiCad's awesome interactive router
• Lag- and glitch-free rendering
• Rule-based DRC
• Undo/redo
• Copy/paste for some objects
• Builds and runs on Linux and Windows 🌈

lowkey obsessed with the "lag- and glitch-free rendering" line. no notes. flawless. 💅

💖 OPTIONS 💖

• -h, --help — show help options. the classic "hey what do u do" button.
• --help-all — show all help options. the deluxe version, the everything bagel 🥯
• --help-gapplication — show GApplication options. application-layer lore ✨
• --help-gtk — show GTK+ options. toolkit lore, separate thing, keep up 💅
