|---|---|
| - | 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.
