2D Structure Preferences
These settings control various aspects of the generation of 2D structures, which are displayed in a number of places.
- Features
- Additional Resources
- Maximum number of atoms text box
-
Display the 2D structure only for molecules that have no more than the specified number of atoms.
- Maximum scale factor text box
-
Scale down images by at least this amount, relative to the size of the cell or display area. This cutoff can be used to prevent small molecules from appearing on a much larger scale than large molecules. Set this factor to 1 to fit the image into the cell.
- Font size slider and text box
-
Point size of the font used for the atom labels in the generation of the image.
- Bond line width slider and text box
-
Width of bond lines in pixels for image generation.
- Bond spacing slider and text box
-
Space between bond lines for multiple bonds in pixels for image generation.
- Use color in 2D structures options
-
Choose when to use color for atom labels in 2D structure drawings.
- Never—Do not color atom labels in 2D structure drawings.
- On light backgrounds only—Color atom labels in 2D structure drawings on light backgrounds. This is the default option.
- Always—Color atom labels in 2D structure drawings on all backgrounds.
- Show all hydrogens option
-
Show all hydrogens, rather than leaving them implicit. Nonpolar hydrogens are always displayed.
- Label all carbons option
-
Display a C for each carbon atom, rather than leaving them implicit.
- Restore Defaults button
Restore all 2D structure preferences to their default values.
