Hello!





Is is possible to export the structures to eps? Eps-Files are very important for using LaTeX. If not, it would be a good idea for a new version of MarvinSketch.





Thanks

Thanks for the question.


Currently, there is no EPS export in Marvin. Among scalable vector graphics format, only PDF, SVG and EMF are available in Marvin.


We have already decided to implement it. But I don't know when it is ready.

While an option to save these vector file formats through Marvin Sketch (4.1.13) applet window exists, saved files are corrupt. EMF is 0 bytes and PDF can't be open. It is not structure dependent.

Please give us more details about your platform:


- OS type


- Java version


How did you created these outputs? Do you use applet or beans?


Did you use the "Save Image" menu in MarvinView/Sketch?


Or probably you use molconverter?

I was using Marvin applet on your JChem Base example page on www.chemaxon.com website. Multiple computers with different browsers and the same result. Very reproducible.





If you draw just benzene ring then it works OK. If draw pyridine then files are corrupt.

We know about this applet specific issue.


Marvin uses a third party tool (Freehep API) to generate EMF and PDF output. So debugging this issue is not easy.


We will evaluate the newer version of Freehep. Probably, it will solve the problem.

Yet, you still include it in the menu as an option. Nice!

Generally, it works. We have not managed to localize exactly in which cases (structures) the output is corrupt.


Thanks for the bug report. It makes researching of the bug easier.

It only works when there are no letters (atom symbols) in the structure. As soon as even a single carbon is replaced (for example by "N") it does not work. I don't know many structures where there are no letters. So I would say that it mostly does not work.

We have fixed this bug.


The bugfix will be available in the next release (5.0.1).
