How do I make a custom pictorial element?

[mohammadskabir]

Hello there, hope this finds you all well.

I've drawn an electric circuit using SchemDraw and now, I want to add an unconventional picture as an element. How can I do this? The circuit is just a model of a mechanical system btw. An example is as follows:

I simply want to add a pictorial element as seen in the attached image.
Thank you for your time and patience.

You can add images as an element using ElementImage. For simple image elements, the image can just be added to a schemdraw drawing directly:

elm.ElementImage('myimage.png', width=2, height=2)

Note width and height are relative to schemdraw's drawing unit, the length of a standard resistor.

For more complicated applications involving anchors, see the documentation and an example here.

That's awesome! Thank you for your time and effort.

I've been able to finish my task. Thanks again.

By the way, another thing: can you kindly enable the option to Download the SchemDraw Documentation as a pdf/epub, if it isn't already?
ReadTheDocs seems to have such a feature but I cannot find an option to download the SchemDraw Docs in those formats.
Thanks in advance.

Sure - I had to update the build config and switch to a different image converter (Latex doesn't like a lot of SVGs), but there are now PDF and EPUB in the Downloads section.

Awesome! It's a lifesaver to have all of the documentation in one place which is easily accessible/searchable offline.

Thank you very much for your time, effort and patience.
