Visible pin numbers on R networks

evanshultz requested to merge github/fork/evanshultz/r-network-pin into master

As noticed at https://github.com/KiCad/kicad-footprints/issues/961, there are no visible pin numbers on resistor network symbols. This makes knowing which resistor in the package you've connected to difficult, which is annoying since they're interchangeable.

This PR turns on pin number visibility for the entire group of symbols. image

At higher pin counts the pin number runs over the symbol body, which looks ugly, but I think having pin numbers with this caveat is better than no pin numbers. Unless there's a real reason to do more, I'd rather have this merged and then think about a better way later once we have more freedom to change symbols.

Thanks for creating a pull request to contribute to the KiCad libraries! To speed up integration of your PR, please check the following items:

  • Provide a URL to a datasheet for the symbol(s) you are contributing
  • An example screenshot image is very helpful
  • Ensure that the associated footprints match the official footprint library
  • If there are matching footprint PRs, provide link(s) as appropriate
  • Check the output of the Travis automated check scripts - fix any errors as required
