Toolbar

MOLDRAW shows a toolbar with the most common options available as a single mouse click. The toolbar is shown below:

• Read: reads a prexistent .MOL file
• Write: writes a .MOL file of the present structure. Connectivity and other information are also stored in the .MOL file. Unit cell infos are lost
• Import: opens the dialog to import a variety of molecular format 
• Export: opens a form to export the coordinates in different formats
• Imp GAU98: imports a structure from the .LOG/.OUT Gaussian98/G03 (http://www.gaussian.com ) output file.
• Imp CRY03: imports a structure from the .OUT CRYSTAL03/06 (http://www.crystal.unito.it) output file.
• Cell: generates the crystal unit cell content of the actual structure.
• Pack: generates a cell packing in a user contrallable fashion.
• Dist: calculates the distance (Angstrom) between any two atoms.
• Angle: calculates the bond angle (degrees) between any three different atoms.
• Tors: calculates the torsion angle (degrees) defined by four non-collinear atoms.
• HB-/+: shows/hides the H-bonds in the actual structure.
• Label atom: labels the atom selected by the left-button mouse click.
• Unlabel all: unalbels all previously labelled atoms.
• Stick: renders the structure in sticks.
• Stick+B: renders the structure in stick+balls.
• Wire: renders the structure in sticks whose thickness dependent on the position.
• Tube: renders the structure in sticks of bigger thickness.
• Spokes: renders the structure in ball & spokes (uncolored).
• Solid: renders the structure in ball & spokes (colored).
• CPK-: renders the structure in quick CPK scaled van der Waals spheres.
• CPK+: renders the structure in slow CPK scaled van der Waals spheres.
• Sel all atom: selects all atoms belonging to the actual structure.
• Sel atom: selects atoms clicked with the left-button mouse.
• Recenter: re-centers the actual structure on the screen.
• Sel fragment: selects one or more unconnected fragments within the structure.
• Ren atom: renames an atom clicked by left-button mouse with one selected from a list.
• Del atom: removes atoms clicked by the left-button mouse.
• Link: connects clicked atoms with a bond.
• Unlink: disconnects clicked atoms.
