Wiring Information Query for 70 pin connector

akikinho commented 5 months ago

Hello Wireviz Team, There is a 70 pin connector for which the wiring information table is huge and it is difficult to read. Is there a way to format the wire information such that the wire data is condensed for such large connectors?

kvid commented 5 months ago

Please provide a YAML input example that demonstrates your issue. One commonly used function to make connectors more compact is to add hide_disconnected_pins: true.

I took the liberty to edit you message, by only adding YAML code tags around your YAML input to make it easier to read. Please verify that I didn't destroy any of your YAML input in the process.

I had to make a few modifications to make WireViz accept your YAML input:

Reduced C2 indentation with 1 space to make it equal C1 indentation.
Replaced your lists in gauge and type with simple strings to avoid ugly output (different values per wire not supported, but see suggestions in #268).
Removed pins 61-70 in C1 connections to equalize the number of connections in the same connection set.
If my assumption in the latter point above is wrong, and you want 10 wires only connected at the left end, then you must add a second connection set for this.

Non-critical issues:

The warning Unknown color name: SH can be ignored (default color white will be used).
You don't need to list all pins individually when you provide pincount in your connectors.
I recommend (for readability) to use [1-60] in your connection set instead of listing all number individually.
I uncommented your length attribute, because I guess it was originally included.

I removed empty lines to make the YAML input more compact.

akikinho commented 5 months ago

Thank you @kvid! I have a question. How do you display the gauge, type information beside the wire information? Is it something like show_type: true and show_gauge: true?

kvid commented 5 months ago

WireViz v0.4 only supports a common type and gauge value for all wires in the same cable/bundle - see syntax description, but #268 suggests supporting different gauges for each wire as a new future feature. However, it has not (yet?) been implemented.

akikinho commented 5 months ago

Thank you @kvid. I really hope in the future update the team implements it as it will be really helpful.

akikinho commented 5 months ago

In my opinion, both (length: <int/float>[ ])and (gauge: <int/float/str>) should be of type List?

kvid commented 5 months ago

Please join the #268 discussion and present your use case and view to contribute to the on-going suggestions there.

kvid commented 4 months ago

This issue seems to be resolved. I copied your two latest comments into #268 as they seems to belong there.
