don't want MarvinView to appear in table form

When I use Java Web Start to display a structure in MarvinView, and the structure contains a molecule property, MarvinView opens in a table format with two columns: one for the structure, one for the molecule property. I then have to double-click on the structure to get it to open in a regular MarvinView window. Is there a way I can avoid the table view and just have the structure open, regardless of whether it has a molecule property? Using Marvin 16.8.29.

By the way, on the MarvinView overview page, the link to MarvinView with Java Web Start Examples is broken.

Dear Bob,

thank you for having notified us about the broken link. We are working on it.

Regarding your problem with MarvinView you can select the table format in Table > Options... in the appearing dialog please select "Molecule matrix" from the Table type drop-down box.

I hope the above helps.

Best regards,

Nikolett MiIhala

I guess my question wasn't clear. Is there a way to bypass the table view option programmatically, using a parameter in the JNLP file, so that the user doesn't have to take any extra steps to see the MarvinView pane?

Hi Bob,

Please try to pass '--gridbag' parameter in your JNLP.

Kind regards

Zsolt

Thanks, that worked!

For readers unfamiliar with JNLP, include --gridbag as an argument in the application-desc bloc thusly:

    <application-desc main-class="chemaxon.marvin.View">

        <argument>--gridbag</argument>

        <argument>[filename]</argument>

    </application-desc>

    <application-desc main-class="chemaxon.marvin.View">

        <argument>--gridbag</argument>

        <argument>[filename]</argument>

    </application-desc>

Thanks for sharing it.
