Chemtool 1.6.12

A chemical formula X11/GTK-based Chemtool project development program is a small program for drawing chemical structures on Linux and Unix systems using the GTK toolkit under X11.Chemtool based on transfig by Brian Smith for PostScript printing and exporting files in pictex and EPS. Its companion program, Xfig is recommended to improve the production chemtool and the creation of 2D diagrams and Schematics in general.Both are included with most Linux distributions, and are available in a number of websites including www.xfig.org. If you want to import drawings chemtool programs in word processing other than latex, you'll probably want to add a bitmap preview for them, as neither StarOffice / OpenOffice, or as software from Redmond seem to be in a position 'display postscript inserts on the screen without them. To this end, using either ps2epsi, which comes with Ghostscript or epstool, part of GSview is recommended. Since chemtool-1.6, this option is accessible directly (through the equivalent function offered by recent versions of transfig). Chemtool was written by Thomas Volk, then a student in chemistry and biology at the University of Ulm, Germany. His version, which was described in an article in the German periodical LinuxMagazine, using plain bond types X11.The chemtool are available: • · a single bond a double bond (with a shorter line than the other) · double connection (with the shortest line on the opposite side) · double bond centered · triple bond (with accompanying lines shorter than the center) · binding wedge-shaped corner · dotted bond · form a line · wavy dotted line broad · an arrow half · an arrow · binding · a wide circle · a dotted line · a single bond that cut called "out" a segment of any link · it through a triple bond (with lengths line equal) · a quadruple bond
