6. 2D Display

2D molecular depictions are provided using OpenEye's Ogham toolkit. A large number of options are available in the applications preferences to customize how the depictions are drawn. Depictions are drawn as black on a white background by default as seen in Figure 6.1, but other color schemes are available and can seen in Figure 6.2.

As might be expected, 2D depictions of this nature only make sense for small molecules (< 255 atoms in this case). For proteins, an amino acid sequence view is displayed instead (see Figure 6.3).
