Colors

Would it be possible to add a color attribute to each atom and bond in a structure?





Each atom and bond would have a default color given by its element, as now, but the user could change the color of that atom, like we can do with graphics objects now. If the atom was C, and it was in skeletal form (no C written), changing the color would make the C and the associated H atoms appear.

Dear Bob!


With the current Marvin you can set the atom colors as the example shows under:

We are working on the problem right now, to be able to set colors with GUI. In the near future it is going to be available. What we are not planning (in the near future), is to change the displaying policy of Carbon atom labels. Anyway you can set it (the visibility) by choosing in the View menu Hydrogens:Implicit:All.

Bob,





Actually you can make the C and implicit H symbols always appear when you add them as an atom alias. (You can do that in the More window.)


Subscripts are a bit tricky:it is the same as in the LaTeX notation:





For example, you have to set alias CH_2 to put 2 in a subscript.


For more characters put into the subscript, you have to use curly brackets, like C_{22}, and you can set superscripts the same way using character ^: C^{13}.

What you have already will suffice for us. Thanks!
