circuitikz in latex is fun in drawing electrical circuits. If you make a well structured program, you can alter a completed circuit without having to manually push other components.
I had to draw a circuit and explain various states of it separate diagram. I made one base program with many variables describing the position of each component and their branches. The variables were described in a separate file. To describe various states, I had only to tweak the main program a little bit. In order the change the position of a component in all states, all I had to do was to change the value of the variable in one file and it changed it all state diagrams.

It took more time than manually drawing for me though. However I could do a lot more adjustments than if I had manually drawn it.
