molsKetch is a tool for drawing schematic representations of molecules, better known as molecular structures. molsKetch target is making this drawing quick and painless. Of course you're creation can be exported afterwards in high quality in an number of vector and bitmap formats. Some of the 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
• reallign atoms automaticly
• intelligent addition/removal of hydrogen atoms
• realtime information about the molecule, like charge and weight
• built-in library for quick access to regulary used molecules and functional groups

Hello
I was very happy to find that program. I think you do a great work.
In order to improve that app i'd like to make some comment.

- The dublebounds look wrong to me. At the moment they are centred but it would look great if the second bound would be on the side of the first.
-I wasn't able to draw a Nitro group beacause i coudn't remove the Hydrogen from the Oxigen (to make a O¯). The Alcohol is handled as one Atom.
- Some Arrows and Text imput for Reaction would also be fine.

I'm looking forward to the final:)

System: Kubuntu 7.04, fglrx, (molsketch_0.1.1deuterium-1_i386.deb)

- I'm working on support for different bond styles at the moment, so that should be fixed in the next release.

- Hmm it should be possible to make a O- with the "-" symbol. I'll look after that.

- Support for reaction arrows and text input makes sense. I'll work on it.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll add them to the SourceForge tracker at http://sourceforge.net/projects/molsketch

we are very like this blogger..
