Demos > 2D Coordinate Generation

Drawing aesthetically pleasing 2D chemical structures is not an easy task. In this demo, our industry leading 2D coordinate generation algorithm will produce very nice 2D layouts for you. Just draw your structure and click on the Clean button. You may also click on the Clean button () in the sketcher interface. Stereochemical configurations will be preserved. It make take a few seconds to handle larger and more complex structures, so please wait a few seconds if you do not see any update. Finally, this is a stochastic method, and cleaning multiple times may produce different results.

Please note, 2D coordinate generation is only one part of the process for creating publication quality figures, which also requires a style sheet to produce pleasing graphics. ChemDoodle 2D provides both the 2D coordinate generation function and style sheets for customizing your graphics.


Here are some structures where 2D coordinates have been generated by competing software. Click on a structure to load it into the sketcher above and click the Clean button to see what ChemDoodle does instead! It make take a few seconds to handle larger and more complex structures, so please wait a few seconds if you do not see any update!
