add text boxes through the api?

Is there a way to add a text box to a molecule through the API? In addition is there a way to position it below a structure in the molecule. I'm trying to add name labels to the structures in a molecule.





Thanks,

Use the MTextBox API to create a textbox that you can add to the proper MDocument object. MDocument is the container of the graphical components.

Code:

Molecule mol = ... MDocument doc = mol.getDocument(); MTextBox textbox = new MTextBox(); textbox.setFontScale(10.0); // font scale // textbox corners (top left and bottom right) MPoint top = new MPoint(-6.241666793823242,7.116666793823242); MPoint bottom = new MPoint(-1.1904667938232425,6.315866793823242); textbox.setCorners(top,bottom); // the text textbox.setText("This is a text box."); // append the textbox to the document doc.addObject(textbox);

If the molecule hasn't got MDocument, you can define it by the following way:

Code:

Molecule mol = ... MDocument doc = mol.getDocument(); if(doc == null) doc = new MDocument(mol);
