Re: CCL:SUMARRY --- 3D->2D softwares?



 Deal All:
 
After receiving Ogham academic licenses now, I can evaluate all the recommended programs. Thanks all that gave me advices! I have a lot of molecules to be converted to 2D images, so a command line program is more of interest. Among the below recommended softwares, I like MolConverter and Ogham most, although these two programs still have some shortcomes.
 Molconverter:
 1. works well only when remove all hydrogens.
 2. it has some problem in recognizing some aromatic rings.
 Ogham:
 
1. works a slightly better and smarter, but the program could be used for only two months with an academic license.
 2. the produced images will be stamped with an OpenEye logo.
 ----- Recommended Softwares -------
 MolConverter (in the package of Marvin)

 Dear All:
 
Is there a software in linux can convert 3D small organic structures to 2D
 sketch structures? It will be more preferable if the software has a
 function of exporting 2D structures to picutures. Thanks in advance!
