Challenge: Is this possible with zap?

[metawops]

Here's a challenge ... If I'd need to draw this diagram in a Typst document, would it be possible to do with zap?

It's a circuit for an analog computer program/patch and taken from this application note from anabrid GmbH.

I own their THAT ("THe Analog Thing") analog computer and here are more explanations for the kinds of diagrams needed if you want to write documentation for it: https://the-analog-thing.org/docs/dirhtml/rst/basics_quickstart/

I'm wondering if I should give zap a try ... 🤔

Hi @metawops 👋,

It is always possible, the only questions I'd ask is: is it the best way to do it?

The symbols you showed (integrator, circle, etc.) are not supported by Zap at the moment, and are not planned anytime soon (if you need one, please open a feature request so I can take a closer look).

However, you can use Zap'a core by creating custom symbols. You'll be able to get instant wiring, anchoring and positioning features.

As described in #151, the custom symbols are not working anymore in 0.5.0, but if you switch to 0.4.0 (or 0.5.1 when it's released), you'll be able to create them.

I think the fastest way to do this circuit would be a combination of Zap's core and your own custom symbols 😇.

Hope this helps!
