OEDepict TK 2.3.0

New features

• Functionalities have been added to customize the general layout of the molecule display:

  • the margin(s) around the molecule can now be changed (for more details, see OE2DMolDisplayOptions.SetMargin and OE2DMolDisplayOptions.SetMargins methods)

  • the height of the title area can now be changed (for more details, see OE2DMolDisplayOptions.SetTitleHeight method)

  Example of molecule display layouts depending on position of the title

  title hidden	title at the top	title at the bottom

• A new highlighting style, OEHighlightStyle_Lasso, has been added along with the corresponding highlighting class OEHighlightByLasso. See the example in Figure: Example of highlighting using the “lasso” style. below.

• Text can now be associated with hyperlinks via the OEFont class. This functionality is only available for PDF and SVG image formats. For more details and an example see the OEFont.SetHyperlink method.

• The title of the molecule is now scaled along with the size of the image by default. The OE2DMolDisplayOptions.SetTitleFontScale method was added to enable changing the scaling factor or allowing a fixed font size to be used regardless of the dimensions of the image. See also the OE2DMolDisplayOptions.SetTitleFont method.

• The OE2DMolDisplayOptions.SetAtomLabelFontScale method now allows using a fixed font size regardless of size of the molecule. Previously, the atom labels of the molecule were scaled along with the size of molecule.

• In case of the OEBondColorStyle_ByElement style, the wedge/hash stereo bonds are also colored by the corresponding element types. See the effect of this change in Table: Example of bond coloring below.

• If the width or the height of a molecule display is not specified it will be set to 50.0.

• OEWriteReportToString function has been added.

• OEDrawCurvedBorder function has been added.

Major bug fixes

• The layout of the molecule depiction has been improved to eliminate atom label clippings. These label clippings used to occur in cases when font scales larger than the default value were used. See the effect of this change in Table: Improved depiction layout below.

• The bounding boxes of labels are now considered when positioning atom properties. As a result, the number of overlaps is reduced in cases where font scales larger than the default value are used. See the effect of this change in Table: Example of improving the positioning of atom properties below.

Minor bug fixes

• The default parameter for the maximum number of bond rotations of the OEAlignmentOptions class is \(2^{16} = 65536\). This means that by default only the first 16 single bonds of the fit molecule will be rotated to maximize molecule alignment when invoking the OEPrepareAlignedDepiction function.

• OEPrepareAlignedDepiction has been optimized to be 10% faster on average. The algorithm was also revised to reduce the accumulation of floating point errors.

• The atom mapping index is no longer displayed (redundantly) in the case of R-groups. See the effect of this change in Table: Example of displaying atom map indices below. See also the OEDisplayAtomMapIdx class.

• OEAromaticStyle_Circle depiction style has been improved. See the effect of this change in Table: Example of Kekule (default) and circle aromatic depiction styles below.

• If a bond display style cannot be determined - for example, in case of a broken molecule - the bond is now displayed using the OEBondDisplayType_Any style and no error message will be thrown.

• OEAddHighlightOverlay function no longer generates different images on different platforms.

Python-specific changes

• The deprecated Ogham API is no longer tested in Python. See also Deprecated Ogham section.

Documentation changes

• Molecule Depiction with Transparent Background section was added to show how to generate molecule depiction with a transparent background.

• Code snippets have been added to the following functions:

  • OERenderMoleculeToString

  • OEWriteImageToString

• All images in this documentation have been automatically regenerated to reflect the changes made since the previous release.
