# Electron
A C++ visualizer for electronic schemes.
## Overview
Electron is a desktop application built in C++ that provides visualization and interaction capabilities for electronic circuit diagrams and schematics. The project uses modern C++ development practices and includes build automation tools for cross-platform compilation.
## Features
- **Electronic Scheme Visualization** - View and interact with circuit diagrams
- **Cross-Platform Support** - Built with Windows (batch scripts) and Unix-like systems (Makefile) in mind
- **Project Management** - Save and load your circuit designs
- **Component Editing** - Modify component values and properties
- **Automatic Wire Routing** - Intelligent wire routing that avoids components
- **Zooming & Panning** - Navigate and zoom in/out of your circuits
## Controls
### Keyboard Commands
| Key | Action |
|--------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
| **Ctrl+W** | Close the application |
| **Escape** | Cancel current action (stop wiring, deselect, stop editing) |
| **R** | Rotate selected component (90° increments) |
| **Delete** | Delete selected component |
| **E** | Enter edit mode for selected component's value |
| **0-9, ., Backspace** | Modify component value (digits, decimal point, delete char) |
| **Ctrl+S** | Save circuit to file (prompts for filename in console) |
| **Ctrl+O** | Load circuit from file (prompts for filename in console) |
### Mouse Commands
| Action | Function |
|-------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------|
| **Left Click** | Select component / Spawn from menu / Start or complete wiring (when clicking component pins) |
| **Right Click + Drag** | Pan the viewport |
| **Mouse Wheel Scroll** | Zoom in/out canvas (no selection) or zoom component (if any selected) |
| **Mouse Drag (selected)** | Move selected component around canvas |

## Getting Started
### Prerequisites
- C++ compiler (C++11 or later)
- Make (for Unix/Linux builds)
- Windows batch support (for Windows builds)
### Building the Project
#### On Unix/Linux:
```bash
make
```
#### On Windows:
```bash
run.bat
```
### Running the Application
The `run.bat` script is provided for Windows users to compile and run the application.
For Unix/Linux users, the Makefile handles both compilation and can be extended to run the compiled executable.
