How to create SVG file

You can create an SVG file with many applications and on different platforms (web, desktop, mobile). A good option is Inkscape. If you want to create a real circuit, you can paste a map image and draw the SVG over it.

Requirements

• Always start with a straight segment.
• You must intersperse straight and curved segments.
• If the path is circular, the last segment must be curved.
