 ** PLANNING (Auto-)Plotting
+* Readme.org
+#+BEGIN_SRC org
+,* Overview
+
+Extends org-babel capabilities to support spice simulations using
+ngspice. Simulations are executed using an interactive ngspice process
+running in emacs. The running ngspice process can be used to
+manipulate the simulation results directly or spread a simulation into
+multiple src blocks.
+
+Spice source blocks are interpreted as circuit descriptions until an
+'.end' line is encountered. After that a control part may follow
+(surrounded by '.control' and '.endc' lines). *If there is no '.end'*
+,*line all of the src block is interpreted as a control block!*
+
+,* Use cases
+,*** Just load some circuit for later simulation:

+,* Flags
+,** :netlist / :circuit
+Name of a src block to include for netlist/circuit descriptions.
+,** :dir
+Working directory to run the src block in. Default is the value of `default-directory'.
+,** :file?
+
+,** :gnuplot
+Name of gnuplot block or .plt file: handle plotting instead of gnuplot
+lines
+,** :results
+Available result options are `value' which returns the output of the
+ last expression, `output' which returns all output and `smart' which
+ tries to only display echos and plot filenames.
+,** :batch / :no-interactive
+use batch mode
