The image could be linked directly from forums or copied to Imgur automatically by the Stack Exchange software. Could we somehow commission someone at Stack Overflow to write something in exchange for reputation points? In exchange for money? Kickstarter? A simple JavaScript editor could allow for blocks to be put next to each other, like this Klunky editor, then it could generate a URL with a bunch of gibberish at the end, which then causes the server to generate a single PNG, for instance. I would code it if I knew how, but my skills are weak. There's a real need for a quick web-based schematic drawing tool, not just here, but everywhere. There's also this web-based thing, meant to have screenshots taken of it:īut could it be modified to generate code that could be copied and pasted into this site? Something that generates a single image would be preferable, of course. This 4000 character URL should show a 7-segment decoder

You have permission to modify the applets and/or copy the applets onto your own web site as long as you credit me (Paul Falstad) and provide a link to my page You can use the same URL to display the same circuit while using the java file on your own computer:Īnd he pointed out the licensing agreement, which I think permits us to modify it and use it on here to embed schematics, like this. There is now an "Export Link" menu option that generates links like this, without requiring a directory or hashtable on the server or anything. Update: I talked to the author, and he implemented URL data within hours of me proposing it. Maybe talk to the author about something like this? He has the applet zipped up for you to use on your own computer, but I don't know about distributing it on other websites.

Maybe there's a way to integrate it into a site, so that users can draw a circuit, paste the above code into the answer box, surround it with special tags, and it will create a pop-up applet?Įven better, a schematic image could be generated from the code, which, when clicked on, opens a simulation applet of that schematic. The above code will produce this circuit:
