Hi William,
Our symbols are the same size as yours, because we originally got them from
you, so we could exchange schematics and they would still fit.
(The symbols from jlab are a different size.)
However, our users thought that displaying NPP/PP by
default cluttered up the schematics, so in most cases we display PP if that
is what we are using and if nothing appears it is NPP.  Of course if we
forget to turn display on for PP the schematic is misleading.
