3.2.1 gafrc

gafrc is a configuration file used by various tools in the Lepton EDA suite.

Files named gafrc are read from ~/.config/lepton-eda/ (user configuration) and from a directory where you run the lepton-eda tools (configuration for current directory). Expressions in gafrc files control the following settings:

• Component and source libraries. Component libraries is a list of directories where Lepton will search for symbol files (*.sym). Source libraries is a list of directories where Lepton will search for source files (defined by the source= attribute) used in hierarchical schematics.
  • - (reset-component-library)

    Clear the list of component libraries.

  • - (reset-source-library)

    Clear the list of source libraries.

  • - (component-library path name)

    Add the directory path to the list of component libraries giving it a display name name which will be shown in the "Add Component" dialog in lepton-schematic, for example:

    (component-library "/home/dmn/sym" "MySymbols")
    

  • - (component-library-search path prefix)

    Add the directory path recursively with all its sub-directories to the list of component libraries. Directories added with this command will be shown in lepton-schematic in the "Add Component" dialog prefixed with the string prefix, for example:

    (component-library-search "/home/dmn/my-libs" "MyLibs::")
    

  • - (source-library path)

    Add the directory path to the list of source libraries.

• Color scheme used for exporting/printing by lepton-cli export and lepton-schematic’s ‘File’->‘Write Image...’ (if "Image type" is set to ‘PDF’) and ‘File’->‘Print...’ main menu commands.
  • - (primitive-load file)

    Load a color scheme from file file, for example:

    (primitive-load "/usr/share/lepton-eda/print-colormap-darkbg")
