linSmith project is a Smith Charting program, mainly designed for educational use.

linSmith is a Smith Charting program, mainly designed for educational use. As such, there is an emphasis on capabilities that improve the 'showing the effect of'-style of operation.

Here are some key features of "linSmith":
Definition of multiple load impedances (at different frequencies)
Addition of discrete (L, C, series and parallel LC, and transformer) and line components (open and closed stubs, and line segments)
Connection in series and parallel
Easy experimenting with component values using scrollbars
A 'virtual' component switches from impedance to admittance to help explaining (or understanding) parallel components
The chart works in real impedances (not normalized ones)
Direct view of the result on the screen
Ability to generate publication quality Postscript output
A 'log' file with textual results at each intermediate step
Load and circuit configuration is stored separately, permitting several solutions without re-defining the other.

Requirements:
gnomeprint-dev

What's New in This Release:
A few other potential char array traps removed.
These are of less importance as the reserved space was more than enough to accomodate the strings.
