getting enantiomer of structure

There does not appear to be a Java API method to convert a molecule into its enantiomer.  If the molecule has been imported from a SMILES string, then one must also first convert the molecule from 0D to 2D with either clean() or setDim() and then multiply all the atomic x-coordinates by -1.   If the molecule is already 2D, one just multiplies all the atomic x-coordinates by -1.   

'Twould be rather convenient to have a Java method, Molecule.getEnantiomer() or mirror(), that converts both 0D and 2D molecules to their enantiomers.  In fact, MarvinSketch already has a mirror() function that is accessible from the GUI.

Yes we can do this.

We find a nice place to put this method. We don't want to put it into the Molecule as that class is already huge.

Still, Molecule is the natural place for it.  Otherwise it will have to be static.

It will be a new static function in chemaxon/calculations/StereoRecognizer or in chemaxon/calculations/Stereochemistry.java:

public static MoleculeGraph getEnantiomer(MoleculeGraph m)

For 5.5.1 we have only bugfixes, so it can come out in release 5.6.

(Actually the function is ready)
