XDrawChem is a 2-dimensional molecule drawing program for Unix operating systems. It is similar in functionality to other molecule drawing programs such as ChemDraw (TM, CambridgeSoft). It can read and write MDL Molfiles, and read ChemDraw text and binary files, to allow sharing between XDrawChem and other chemistry applications, and it can create images in popular formats like PNG, EPS and SVG. XDrawChem has been tested on Linux, SGI IRIX 6.5, Sun Solaris, Windows and - finally - Mac OS X. What's New: Version 1.9: Added Russian language translation file. Thanks to Vitaly Lipatov and Roman Borisyuk for conributing this work. Fixed dialogs that display Help. It's now possible to use the Help dialog, and close it without closing the tool you are using. Eliminated Elemental analysis dialog. This feature is now part of Molecule Information. Fixed a bug in the text tool that caused a segfault when clicking off of an empty text field. Also updated text toopl behavior to more accurately show what would be selected, moved, etc. on mouse click. Fixed a bug where aromatic and other rings would have infinite scale and random rotation if attached to an existing bond. Rings now attach correctly, even to vertical bonds. Keyboard input for non-English users is fixed. You can finally type letters with umlauts (e.g., "Säure") and other accents. You can paste text from other applications with Ctrl+V. However, you must select the Text tool first and create a new text box. The width of any bond (double, triple, dashed, ...) may be changed now. |  |
