Options

    -h --help Print command line help
    - import structures from standard input
    --geometry WxH+X+Y set preferred window size ( W x H ) and location ( X , Y )
    --real-time display input stream in real time
    --spreadsheet use spreadsheet-like viewer with one row per input record (default if the input file contains data fields)
    --gridbag use compact matrix-like viewer with more molecules in a row (default if the input file does not contain data fields)
    -c <number> maximum number of visible columns for GridBagView (default: 2)
    -r <number> maximum number of visible rows for GridBagView (default: 2)
    -n <number> maximum number of molecules to import (default: 1000)
    -s <number> index of the first molecule to import (default: 1)
    -S display unique SMILES code
    -f <f1>:<f2> show specified fields (<f1>, <f2>, ...) in the given order from an SDfile. Field names are separated by colons.

    Options for displaying additional atomic properties stored in SDfile:

    -p <file> palette definition property file*
    -t <tagName> name of the tag in the SDfile that contains property symbols*

    * See the Property colors in MarvinView section

    You can also pass options to Java VM when you run the application from command line.

    Examples

    1. Displaying the first 1000 structures from str.smi:

      mview str.smi
    2. Viewing 500 structures starting at the 9500-th one from str.smi:

      mview -n 500 -s 9500 str.smi
    3. Showing structures and 3 fields (ID, name, and stock) from stock.sdf:

      mview -f "ID:name:stock" stock.sdf
    4. Display in 2 columns, show SMILES code:

      mview -Sc 2 stock.sdf
    5. Search using JChem's command line search module and display the structure and the ID field from the results:

      jcsearch -q 'Clc1ccccc1' -f sdf input.sdf | mview -f ID -
    6. Displaying the progress of a command line molecular dynamics simulation in real time:

      program_producing_molfiles_on_stdout | mview --real-time -
    7. Atom coloring according to property symbols in SDFile:

      mview -p colors.ini -t PPL stock.sdf
