Description:
 Cirkuit is a KDE4 application to generate
publication-ready figures. It is a KDE frontend
for the Circuit macros by Dwight Aplevich and for
the TikZ language. Cirkuit builds a live preview
of the source code and can export the resulting
images in several formats (EPS, PDF, PNG, SVG,
...).

Circuit Macros is a set of macros for drawing
high-quality line diagrams to include in TeX,
LaTeX, or similar documents. More info can be
found here

Some examples generated with TikZ can be found
here:

The CircuiTikz extension, which allows to draw
electrical networks, is also supported (but it has
to be installed separately).
