HOW TO USE THE MOLECULES DIRECTORIES
------------------------------------
Each molecule directory contains a number
of molecules. Within these directories
are different molecular representations.
There are SPRITES and DRAWFILES to choose
from. Note that not all molecule shapes
are available as DRAWFILES. If document
space is at a premium if you are DTP'ing
then choose the DRAWFILE version if poss.
SPRITES (FILENAME in directory structure)
-------
ball and stick (BALLSTICK), (DOTSURFACE),
monochrome spacefill (MONOSPACE), (SHADED),
" " + spine (MONOSPCSP),
stereo stick (STEREOSTIK), (STICK),
stereo spacefill (STEREOSPAC),
stick with atom names (STICKNAME),
stick with atoms numbered (STICKNUM),
Van der Waal spacefill (VANDERWAAL).
DRAWFILES (FILENAME in directory structure)
---------
spacefill (SPACE),
spacefill with spine (SPINESPACE),
ball and stick (STICKBALL),
stick with atom names (NAMESTICK),
stick only (DRAWSTICK).
* Vector users should drop these files into
Draw before saving them to a Vector drawing.
HOW TO ACCESS OTHER MOLECULE REPRESENTATIONS
--------------------------------------------
FROM A FOUND WINDOW AFTER DOING A SEARCH
----------------------------------------
If you click ADJUST (the right mouse button) on
a molecule match in the FOUND window, the
molecule directory holding the molecule shapes
will be opened. The other sprite & Draw forms
can now be dragged into Draw, DTP, Paint etc.
* Vector users please see page 3 note.
MORE ABOUT THE MOLECULE SPRITES
-------------------------------
The dot surface and two stereo sprites are not
suitable for printing as they have a black
background. View the stereo sprites with red
and green filters over your eyes.
The other sprites are suitable for direct
printing, the monochrome versions being
particularly suited to non-colour printers.
SSERC CHEMICAL MODELLER
-----------------------
All the molecule graphics have been created
using the SSERC CHEMICAL MODELLER. This
allows the building, displaying, manipulating
and measuring of molecular forms on screen.
Type 'Chemical Modeller' in the SEARCH window
for highlights from this very useful program.
