Can you add a graph to link all file formats

[YRMOX]

Hi,

I've created a graph that maps the relationships between file formats and software, making it easy to instantly identify the best format for connecting any given software.

graph LR
    SPICE["SPICE netlist<br/>(.cir/.sp/.net)"]
    KICAD_SCH["KiCad schematic<br/>(.kicad_sch)"]
    KICAD_PCB["KiCad PCB<br/>(.kicad_pcb)"]
    EAGLE["Eagle<br/>(.sch/.brd)"]
    GEDA["gEDA/gschem<br/>(.sch)"]
    EDIF["EDIF<br/>(interchange)"]
    GERBER["Gerber<br/>(fabrication)"]
    JSON["JSON netlist"]
    PYTHON["Python code<br/>(Skidl/PySpice)"]
    BOM["Interactive HTML BOM"]
    FAB["Fab/doc files<br/>(drill, pos, BOM)"]

Do you thinks it's a great idea ?

That looks useful, if you put it up on a webpage we can link to it.

If you want, you can copy/paste it and manage it yourself in your README.md. It's a Mermaid graph, not an image. What would you like to do?
