molsKetch Description

molsKetch is a molecular drawing tool. molsKetch is a molecular drawing tool.molsKetch is a program for drawing molecular structures, in the spirit of Chemsketch and xdrawchem, for all platforms supported by Qt 4. As for now it supports drawing a basic carbon skeleton, adding hetero atoms and charge and different types of bonds. The resulting structure can be exported to all formats supported by the OpenBabel library and can also be exported as SVG or bitmap. For a full overview of the features see below. This application is the result of a project for school (as well as my first Qt application). The goal of the project was to design a proof-of-concept tool for drawing molecular structures quick and easily, without sacrificing the quality of the resulting images. There is still much room for improvement, but it should be quite useful already. So you're free to give it a try. Here are some key features of "molsKetch": · creating regular and consistent bonds easily with tools as a dynamic grid and magnetic atoms · open, save and import in all formats supported by the OpenBabel(tm) library · export to Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) and a number of common used bitmap formats · print and export your document to PDF · realign atoms automatically · intelligent addition/removal of hydrogen atoms · real time information about the molecule, like charge and weight · built-in library for quick access to regularly used molecules and functional groups Requirements: · Qt What's New in This Release: · fixed crash when trying to remove nonexisting custom molecule · file extension are now added on saving · added option to add/remove single implicit hydrogens · added 2D rotating · rudimentary support for 3D rotation · improved periodic table · improved settings dialog · save position of dock widgets · remember last accessed path · support for i18n · fixed bug on loading/saving CML files · added a panel to the toolbox to directly change the draw options · support for changing the font of the atom symbols · support for changing the bond width · added an autosave feature · there is now an initial version of a KPart of the molsKetch drawing widget available
