The Electrical Button: Show Electrical Mode
This command changes the display from physical to electrical
(schematic) mode. In the main menu, this places Xic into an
editing mode appropriate for electrical representation. In the
subwindows, the Electrical button changes the view only.
Editing can not be performed in a subwindow whose mode is not that of
the main window.
While in a Push, the symbol currently being edited
remains the current symbol, but becomes top-level (i.e., not in a Push)
in the new mode. If the original mode is returned to without editing
a different cell, the Push stack is retained. If a new cell is
edited in the new mode, through a Push or otherwise, the
original Push context is lost. This context is also lost if the
Clear function in the Cells Listing is invoked.
The present display mode can be made immutable, with certain
side-effects, by setting the variable LockMode.
