Use light viewer in Java API

Dear Support,

 

Using JChem API, I would like to add in a JPanel a light molecule viewer. If I use MViewPane, it's too heavy, and it contains many functionnalities that I don't need and I think that AlchemistMoleculeView should be the same. MoleculeComponent would be nice, but actually it doesn't implements or extends any graphical container.

A way would be to export the Molecule into an Image and show it using an ImageIcon.

 

But I wonder if there is a light Panel to show Molecules?

Thank you for your answer

 

Best Regards,

Jacques

Dear Jacques,

you could use MolPrinter, though it is not a JComponent, it can easily be used with one.

As an example I suggest the MoleculeRenderer component described here:

The MolPrinter API: http://www.chemaxon.com/marvin/help/developer/beans/api/chemaxon/marvin/MolPrinter.html

Would this be suitable for your needs?

Kind regards,
Judit

Thank you very much for your help and for the example. I think it should solve my problem. If not I'll come back to you. Thank you again.

Best Regards,
