View Menu in MarvinView

    Menu item Description
    Transform > Translate or Drag Shifts the structure on the canvas with the mouse.
    Transform > Zoom Zoom the content of the canvas by dragging the mouse without modifying atom coordinates.
    Transform > Rotate in 3D Spin the structure around its central point in 3 dimension with the help of the mouse without modifying atom coordinates. Compare it to the Free 3D rotation of Edit Menu, which affects the molecular coordinates.
    Transform > Rotate in 2D Spin the structure around its central point in 2 dimension with the help of the mouse without modifying atom coordinates.
    Transform>Zoom/Rotate Uses the zoom transformation when the mouse is moved vertically and uses rotation when the mouse is moved horizontally.
    Transform > Reset View Restores the starting view as modified by rotation and zoom.
    Animation>Play/Pause Starts/stops an XYZ animation sequence, or starts rotating the selected molecule in 3D.
    Animation>Rewind Stops the animation and resets it to the starting position.
    Animation>Quantize Spin Changes the number of rotations from the current value to the closest integer, for example 1.8 rotation / 198 frames is changed to 2 rotations / 198 frames. The effect is irreversible.
    Animation>Drag to Spin Allows changing the direction and speed of the rotation using mouse dragging.
    Display > Atom Symbols in 3D Sets atom symbol visibility in 3D mode. Note that in 3D mode, atoms may become invisible in Wireframe and Stick mode by hiding atom symbols.
    Display > Wireframe Displays bonds as thin lines, and atoms (except Carbon) as symbols.
    Display > Stick Displays bonds as thick lines, and atoms (except Carbon) as symbols.
    Display > Ball and Stick Displays bonds as thick lines, atoms as shaded balls, and atoms (except Carbon and Hydrogen) as symbols on balls.
    Display > Spacefill Displays atoms as large shaded balls, and atoms (except Carbon and Hydrogen) as symbols on the balls.
    Colors > Monochrome Displays all atoms with default drawing color.
    Colors > CPK Displays all atoms with Corey-Pauling-Kultun colors.
    Colors > Shapely This color scheme is based on RasMol's shapely color scheme for nucleic and amino acids.
    Colors > Group Coloring atoms based on PDB residue numbers.
    Colors > Atom/Bond Sets Colors atoms and bonds according to the color of the pre-defined set they belong to.
    Colors > Peptide Bridges Colors bridges in peptide/proteins.
    Colors > Background Sets custom background color with adjusted default drawing color.
    Colors > White Background Sets the background color to white and the default drawing color to black.
    Colors > Black Background Sets the background color to black and the default drawing color to white.
    Stereo > R/S Labels > All Always show atom chirality (R/S).
    Stereo > R/S Labels > Absolute Stereo Show atom chirality if chiral flag is set for the molecule or the atom's enhanced stereo type is absolute.
    Stereo > R/S Labels > None Do not show atom chirality (R/S).
    Stereo > E/Z Labels Toggles the display of absolute double bond stereo configuration labels. Bonds known to have an (E) or (Z) configuration will be marked as such.
    Stereo > M/P Labels Toggles the display of axial stereochemistry labels M and P
    Stereo > Absolute Labels Toggles the display of the Absolute label if the chiral flag is set on the molecule.
    Implicit Hydrogens > On All View hydrogens by symbol on all atoms. This option is disabled in Spacefill and Ball & Stick display modes.
    Implicit Hydrogens > On Hetero and Terminal View hydrogens by symbol on hetero and terminal carbon atoms. This option is disabled in Spacefill and Ball & Stick display modes.
    Implicit Hydrogens > On Hetero View hydrogens by symbol on heteroatoms only. This option is disabled in Spacefill and Ball & Stick display modes.
    Implicit Hydrogens > Off Disable hydrogens by symbol on all atoms.
    Peptide Sequence > 1-letter View peptides as their 1-letter codes.
    Peptide Sequence > 3-letter View peptides as their 3-letter codes.
    Advanced > Atom Numbering > Off Disable the visibility of atom indices.
    Advanced > Atom Numbering > Atom Number Enable the visibility of unique internal atom indices. The indices are continuous starting from 1.
    Advanced > Atom Numbering > IUPAC Numbering Enable the visibility of IUPAC numbering of atoms in a molecule. It is synchronized with the numbering of "Structure to name" option.
    Advanced > Atom Properties Toggles the visibility of atom properties.
    Advanced > Atom Mapping Toggles the visibility of atom mapping labels.
    Advanced > Bond Lengths Toggles the display of bond lengths in Angstroms on the middle of the bonds.
    Advanced > Lone Pairs Toggles the display of lone pairs.
    Advanced > R-groups Toggles the display of R-group definitions.
    Advanced > R-logic Toggles the display of R-logic definitions.
    Advanced > Valence Toggles the display of valence numbers. Default setting is On.
    Advanced > Ligand Error Toggles the display of ligand errors. Default setting is On.
    Rescale cells > Separately Changes the zoom of each cells individually so that molecules best fit their own cell.
    Rescale cells > Uniformly Changes the zoom ratio of all cells to the same value with which all molecules are fully visible in their own cell.
    Open MarvinSpace Launches a MarvinSpace window containing the current molecule.
