Obtaining a image from MarvinSketch programmatically

Hi,

When a MarvinSketch is imbedded in an HTML page, I would like to obtain an image from the MarvinSketch that contains whatever user draws on the applet. I see the MarvinSketch provices a menu to save as image in png or jpg formats. I would like to programmtically (in Javascript) obtain the image file. Is it possible, and would you please point out some sources?

Another question is that how to programmatically to get image from a molfile? I remember I did that before, but forget how to do it. Thanks.

Hi,

You can read about our graphical formats, and their options here:

http://www.chemaxon.com/marvin/help/formats/formats.html

To get an image from a molfile, You can use the molconvert tool:

molconvert jpeg "inputfilname"

From API, if You have a molecule You can use the toBinFormat() function:

m.toBinFormat("jpeg")

You can read about this here too:

Here is an applet example how to import and export from/to Marvin applet via javascripts. You can check this applet examples:
