💖 lepton-embed — bestie edition 💖

okay so you found yourself in the lepton-embed(1) corner of the Lepton EDA manual and honestly? slay. this is the page that tells you how to embed/unembed schematic components and pictures, and it's from Lepton EDA version 1.9.18.20220529, so you're reading the good stuff ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

lepton-embed — embed/unembed schematic components and pictures 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

lepton-embed -e | -u [OPTIONS] FILE ...

like. you pick one mode (-e or -u), you throw some options at it, you point it at one or more FILEs, and it goes 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so lepton-embed can embed the in-use schematic symbols and pictures right into a schematic, or into a whole set of schematics. and the reason you'd ever want that, bestie, is so real: it lets you, for instance, put a schematic on a website or in an email without the recipient needing to download lots of custom symbols for the design. iconic behaviour honestly 🫶

lepton-embed can also unembed symbol references from a schematic, but — and I need you to hear me on this one — note that the symbols revert to library references. which means if the symbol doesn't exist in the current Lepton EDA project's library path, a broken schematic results. 😭 not the vibe. check your library path first, fr fr.

⚠️ unembedding is giving chaos if your libraries aren't in order. the symbols go back to being library references, and if the library path can't find them? broken schematic. that's it. that's the whole thing. 💀

🌈 OPTIONS 🌈

  • -e, --embed — embed mode, obviously 💖 Without -p or -c, it embeds all components and pictures. go big or go home.
  • -u, --unembed — unembed mode 🧚 Without -p or -c, it unembeds all components and pictures. (see the warning up top, bestie, i'm begging you)
  • -p, --pictures — process pictures only 🎀 just the pics. nothing else. she's focused.
  • -c, --components — process components only ⭐ just the components. the pics can wait.
  • -x, --suffix SUFFIX — do not change input files 🙈 the modified files get saved as FILE.SUFFIX instead. your originals stay untouched and that's highkey a blessing.
  • -V, --version — show version information 👑
  • -h, --help — show usage information 🦋
