• Electrical symbols - for drawing schematic diagrams of electrical circuits

If there is a graphical object that doesn't come as standard with Schematic then it is a simple task to create your own. Some very sophisticated drawing objects can be constructed and since all of the supplied widgets were built using Schematic these can be used as guidance when constructing other objects (see Widgets).
