The 3D display provides a number of additional widgets which are drawn directly in 3D display as opposed to on the side or floating above it. These widgets include an annotation widget, a bookmark widget, a data display widget, and a depiction widget.
It is often desirable when viewing molecules to make notes or simple annotations about specific molecules. This can be done directly within the 3D display, where the annotation widget appears like a transparent Post-ItTM note (see Figure 5.9). The color of the widget as well as the font used can be specified in the application preferences.
 |
The widget can be moved by clicking on the title bar and dragging it to the desired location. The widget can be resized by grabbing the small triangular tab in the lower right-hand corner of the widget and dragging until the desired size is achieved.
Clicking in the annotation widget will activate it for editing. Editing can be accomplished by directly typing once the widget has been clicked or by clicking on the ``Edit" button in the title bar. Clicking on the ``Edit" button will launch a more fully featured text editor which supports copy and paste operations (see Figure 5.10).
 |
Annotations are also stored in the spreadsheet (see Chapter 7) and can be edited there as well as in the 3D display. Annotations are saved as a SD tag when a molecule is written out (in either SD or OEB formats).
The bookmark widget is a simple widget drawn at the bottom of the 3D display containing a clickable list of the currently available bookmarks. Clicking on any individual bookmark will load that bookmark and update the display accordingly. For more information on bookmarks, see Section 5.5.
This widget provides a simple table which contains the spreadsheet data of the Focused object. The widget can be moved around the 3D display by clicking and dragging it to the desired location. It can also be resized by clicking in the tab in the upper left hand corner. Lastly, if the amount of data associated with the object is too large to be shown all at once, the widget does provide scrolling functionality.
The depiction widget draws a 2D depiction of the focused molecule directly into the 3D display. The depiction is drawn in the lower left hand corner of the display (or individual pane if in tiled mode). The depiction style is determined based on the application 2D depiction preferences. The size and other drawing parameters (e.g. anti-aliasing) of the depiction are also specified in the applicaton preferences.
