In the View settings dialog window, you can set the display properties of the structures on the canvas.
Show chiral flag: The visibility of the Absolute chiral flag can be turned on/off.
Show valence errors: Marking of atoms with incorrect valence can be turned on/off.
Show lone pairs: The visibility of the lone pairs can be turned on/off.
Index atoms: When checked, the atom indices (the order of the atoms put on the canvas) are displayed.
Show atom maps: When this function is active, the atom map is visible.
Use CPK colors: When checked, the atoms are displayed colored according to the Corey-Pauling-Koltun convention. The two halves of a bond between two atoms will receive the color of the atom they are connected to.
Show carbon labels: When checked, the carbon atom labels become visible.
Implicit H: Use this option to show/hide hydrogens on atoms. The following options are available from a drop-down list:
Implicit H option | Description |
---|---|
Off | Disable implicit hydrogens on every atom. |
Hetero | Display implicit hydrogens on heteroatoms. |
Hetero and Terminal | Display implicit hydrogens on hetero atoms and terminal carbons. This is the default setting. |
All | Display implicit hydrogens on every atom. |
Display: You can choose between four display options: wireframe , ball and stick, stick, spacefill. See the examples below.
Display option | 2D | 3D |
