Symbolic Mode

(int) ShowSymbolic(show)
This sets or unsets symbolic display mode of the electrical part of the current cell, according to the state of the boolean argument. The return value is always 1. The function has no effect if an active symbolic representation of the cell does not exist.

(int) MakeSymbolic()
This will create a very simple symbolic representation of the electrical view of the current cell, consisting of a box with a name label, and wire stubs containing the terminals. Any existing symbolic representation will be overwritten (but the operation can be undone). In electrical mode, symbolic mode will be asserted.

On success, 1 is returned, 0 otherwise.
