BKchem is a free chemical drawing program, which is written in Python.

Some of the features, you can expect:

  • Drawing (bond-by-bond drawing; templates for common rings; expanding of common-groups; draws radicals, charges, arrows; color support ...)
  • Editing (unlimited undo and redo capabilities; aligning; scaling; rotation (2D, 3D) ...)
  • Export/Import (fully supported SVG-, OpenOffice.org-Draw-, EPS-export; basic support for CML1 and CML2 import and export)

Chemtool je editor chemických štruktúr pre X11 založený na GTK+. Podporuje mnohé štýly väzieb, väčšinu tvarov textu potrebných na písanie chemických textov a krivky/oblúky/zakrivené šípky.

Kresby možno exportovať do formátov MOL a PDB, SVG alebo XFig na ďalšie pridanie poznámok, ako kresbu PiCTeX, ako bitmapu alebo ako PostScriptový súbor (niekoľko z nich pomocou transfig - sprievodného programu fig2dev).

Balík tiež obsahuje pomocný program cht na výpočet sumárneho vzorca a (presnej) molekulárnej hmotnosti zo súboru kresby chemtool. Cht je možné volať buď priamo z Chemtool alebo z konzoly.

EasyChem je program, ktorý vám pomáha tvoriť diagramy molekúl a 2D chemických vzorcov vo vysokej kvalite, ktoré je možné exportovať do PDF, PS, LaTeX a fig.

EasyChem bol pôvodne vyvinutý na tvorbu diagramov do chemických kníh a dnes sa často na tento účel používa v komerčných aj nekomerčných chemických knihách.

OSRA is a utility designed to convert graphical representations of chemical structures, as they appear in journal articles, patent documents, textbooks, trade magazines etc., into SMILES (Simplified Molecular Input Line Entry Specification) - a computer recognizable molecular structure format. OSRA can read a document in any of the over 90 graphical formats parseable by ImageMagick - including GIF, JPEG, PNG, TIFF, PDF, PS etc., and generate the SMILES representation of the molecular structure images encountered within that document.

Xdrawchem is a 2D editor for chemical structures and reactions. It mirrors the abilities of the commercial ChemDraw suite and has file compatibility with it as well as other chemical formats through OpenBabel.

This packaged version comes from a fork available at https://gitlab.com/yamanq/xdrawchem, as the previous version was no longer actively maintained. More information about it in the copyright file.
