Custom chip span/size or style

When creating a custom chip it seems that the chip will always span 12 pins and be labelled as a "breakout". When a custom chip is placed on a breadboard it blocks all of the holes.

I would suggest one of the following:

1. An attribute be added to the .chip.json that allows the user to define the chip "span": 5. Not sure about units here. I have set it as standard pin spacing?
2. An attribute be added to the .chip.json that allows the user to define the chip "type": "chip" or "type": "breakout". This could change the displayed type from the green breakout style to black chip set.

I like the "type": "chip" idea

Some initial experimentation with the design:

Hi , i'd also like to suggest adding a package attribute would be a good enhancement for example the user can select a package like DIP , QFN , SOIC etc as follows : "package" : "DIP"
