Purpose

The file styles/ElectricalEngineering.isy provides electrical engineering circuits components for IPE. The additional customization file ipelets/customize.lua enables the following additional shortcuts:

• Shift+S to add symbols
• Alt+Ctrl+I to add splines

Installation

Linux

Styles file

Copy the styles file styles/ElectricalEngineering.isy into the user directory ~/.ipe/styles/ (styles may have have to be created first)

Customization file

Copy the customization file ipelets/customze.lua into the user directory ~/.ipe/ipelets/ (ipelets may have have to be created first). You have to change

prefs.styles = { "/path/to/ElectricalEngineering.isy" }

to

prefs.styles = { "~/.ipe/styles/ElectricalEngineering.isy" }

Windows

We are assuming that IPE is installed in C:\bin\Ipe; but it may be installed somewhere else.

Styles file

Copy the styles file styles/ElectricalEngineering.isy into the Windows directory C:\bin\Ipe\styles\ (styles may have have to be created first)

Customization file

Copy the customization file ipelets/customze.lua into the user directory C:\bin\Ipe\ipelets/ (ipelets may have have to be created first). You have to change

prefs.styles = { "/path/to/ElectricalEngineering.isy" }

to (note the double backslashes)

prefs.styles = { "C:\\bin\\Ipe\\styles\\ElectricalEngineering.isy" }
