`branch`

The branch command allows the circuit to split off from a given insertion point. After all branch blocks are executed, the pre-branch insertion point is restored.

What happens within a branch block is indicated by an indent.

Example:

import lib

v5v = supply("5V")
gnd = dgnd()

at v5v
wire down 100            # Point A
branch:
    wire down 100        # Wire is added within this branch.
    add res(20k)
    wire down 200
    to gnd

wire right 300 down 200   # Wire is added after point A
add cap(100n)
wire down 100
to gnd

In the above example, the branch splits off to create the path with the res(20k). When this path in this branch block has completed execution, the insertion point is reset back to the the pre-branching state. In this case, it is after the wire down 20 from v5v.

Consecutive branch blocks will share the same branching point.

warning

It is possible to have branches within branches, but bear in mind that readability might be affected.
