# About
[gEDA](http://www.geda-project.org/) is a collection of free software tools for Electronics Design. Unlike other EDA tools, gEDA is designed to be a collection of tools that can work together, rather than a single large monolothic tool.
[gEDA](http://www.geda-project.org/) is a collection of free software tools for Electronics Design. Unlike other EDA tools, gEDA is designed to be a [collection of tools](http://wiki.geda-project.org/geda:faq#why_does_the_geda_suite_seem_like_a_collection_of_random_programs_and_not_a_single_integrated_application)
that can work together, rather than a single large monolothic tool.
# Tools
gEDA consists of the following major tools:
1. [gSCHEM](gSchem) is a schematic capture tool.
2. [gnetlist](Gnetlist) is the Netlister
3. [[gEDA-PCB| PCB]([gnetlist]])] is a PCB Layout tool
3. [PCB](pcb) is a PCB Layout tool. A [fork](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fork_(software_development) of pcb called [pcb-rnd](pcb-rnd) adds new, advanced, and experimental features.
# Other Tools
There are a host of other "Smaller" tools written by a variety of community members which do very useful things. Some of them are listed here:
#[A schematic to symbol converter
#[[Makedepend]([geda_sch2sym]]:)]: Dependency generator for schematics
#[ A python based schematic to symbol converter
There are a host of other "smaller" tools that are a part of gEDA or are created for gEDA. These are written by a variety of community members which do very useful things. Some of them are listed here:
1. [gEDA_sch2sym](geda_sch2sym) : A schematic to symbol converter
2. [Makedepend](Makedepend): Dependency generator for schematics
3. [sch2sym.py](sch2sym.py): A python based schematic to symbol converter
# Related tools
Some other tools used often in conjunction with gEDA, although not part of the gEDA family. The term "gEDA and friends" is sometimes used to denote this superset of tools.
#[[ngSPICE]([sch2sym.py]]:)]: A very powerful open source version of SPICE derived from SPICE 3f5
Some other tools used often in conjunction with gEDA, although not part of the gEDA family. The term "gEDA and friends" (gaf) is sometimes used to denote this superset of tools.
