How do I make a custom pictorial element? #39
-
|
Hello there, hope this finds you all well. I've drawn an electric circuit using SchemDraw and now, I want to add an unconventional picture as an element. How can I do this? The circuit is just a model of a mechanical system btw. An example is as follows: I simply want to add a pictorial element as seen in the attached image. |

You can add images as an element using
Note width and height are relative to schemdraw's drawing unit, the length of a standard resistor. For more complicated applications involving anchors, see the documentation and an example here. |

I've been able to finish my task. Thanks again. By the way, another thing: can you kindly enable the option to Download the SchemDraw Documentation as a pdf/epub, if it isn't already? |

Sure - I had to update the build config and switch to a different image converter (Latex doesn't like a lot of SVGs), but there are now PDF and EPUB in the Downloads section. |

Awesome! It's a lifesaver to have all of the documentation in one place which is easily accessible/searchable offline. Thank you very much for your time, effort and patience. |

You can add images as an element using
ElementImage. For simple image elements, the image can just be added to a schemdraw drawing directly:elm.ElementImage('myimage.png', width=2, height=2)Note width and height are relative to schemdraw's drawing unit, the length of a standard resistor.
For more complicated applications involving anchors, see the documentation and an example here.
