+gschem is a schematic editor and is a part of the gEDA software package. Full documentation can be found on the gEDA project webpage: http://geda.seul.org/wiki/geda:gaf
+
+gschem supports construction of [- hierarchical schematics | hierarchical schematics]([gschem)] also.<br>
+For creation of component symbols using gschem, follow the guidelines [creation in gschem |here]([Symbol)]<br>
+For customising the color scheme see the thread on gEDA-User titled "gschem default grid style" dated March 25 2013
+
+Sheet Size:
+For reasonably sized output on A4 sheets use the A3- or B-sized title blocks in schematics. To fit slightly more content on one page use the A2 title block.
+Use of A4 will result in symbols being too large. A0 and A1 will result in unreadably small symbols and text.
