....I did a similar thing, a little C program to generate an Eagle script=20
that added and placed 144 RGB LEDs.  Fun to watch it run.  Instant LED=20
panels.  (well, except for the stuff that needed manual routing, i.e.=20
everything except the LEDs.)

For examples showing high level sophistication in EDA, check out the=20
demos at altium.com.  It is a whole nuther league above Eagle.  Big boy=20
EDA.  Cost is around $6K, but I haven't sprung for it yet.
