<?xml version="1.0"?> <shape xmlns="http://www.daa.com.au/~james/dia-shape-ns" xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"> <name>Circuit with identifiers - NPN Transistor</name> <icon>npn.xpm</icon> <connections> <point x="0" y="0"/> <point x="6" y="-4"/> <point x="6" y="4"/> </connections> <aspectratio type="fixed"/> <textbox x1="4" y1="-3" x2="12" y2="3" /> <svg:svg> <svg:line x1="0" y1="0" x2="3" y2="0" /> <svg:line x1="3" y1="-3" x2="3" y2="3" /> <svg:line x1="3" y1="-2" x2="6" y2="-4" /> <svg:line x1="3" y1="2" x2="6" y2="4" /> <svg:polyline points="5,4 6,4 5.6154,3.0769" /> </svg:svg> </shape>
