Hello,

seems that nobody else has find time to answer your question...

I have not used tragesym for some years -- but yes, your assumptions
should be true.

So line,dot,clk,dotclk all give you visible pins with different shape --
none is used only if you want a invisible hidden power net.

djboxsym is another nice symbol generator -- for me tragesym was fine,
but I still wonder why its documentation is a spreadsheet tutorial.
