View Menu in MarvinSketch

    This menu allows you to alter the way the molecule is displayed without modifying the structure file itself. You can change the molecule display type, background color, color scheme, error highlighting, etc. See also: Structure Display Options. The View menu also contains operations to change the graphical user interface.

    Mouse Mode > Sketch images/download/attachments/5317406/sketch-mode16.png The Sketch mode allows drawing into the canvas.
    Mouse Mode > Zoom images/download/thumbnails/5317406/zoom-mode24.png Zoom the content of the canvas by dragging the mouse without modifying atom coordinates.
    Mouse Mode > Reset View images/download/thumbnails/5317406/resetview24.png Restores the starting view as modified by rotation and zoom.
    Zoom Level Allows you to select a magnification percentage from the list or to type a custom percentage.
    Structure 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.
    Structure Display > Wireframe Displays bonds as thin lines, and atoms (except Carbon) as symbols.
    Structure Display > Stick Displays bonds as thick lines, and atoms (except Carbon) as symbols.
    Structure Display > Ball and Stick Displays bonds as thick lines, atoms as shaded balls, and atoms (except Carbon and Hydrogen) as symbols on balls.
    Structure 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 with different colors the new Peptide Bridge bonds which are crosslinking the peptide chains.
    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 possible Always show atom chirality (R/S) including not defined stereocenters (?) .
    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 hetero atoms only. This option is disabled in Spacefill and Ball & Stick display modes.
    Implicit Hydrogens > Off Disable hydrogens by symbol on all atoms.
    Peptide Display > 1-letter View peptide sequence with 1-letter aminoacid codes.
    Peptide Display > 3-letter View peptide sequence with 3-letter aminoacid 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 > Graph Invariants Toggles the display of graph invariants (canonical 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.
    Advanced > S-group Attachment Toggles the display of the attachement points. Default setting is On.
    Pages > Fit Page Width images/download/thumbnails/5317406/fit-width24.png Adjusts the width of the current page to the width of the canvas.
    Pages > Fit Page Height images/download/thumbnails/5317406/fit-height24.png Adjusts the height of the current page to the height of the canvas.
    Pages > Fit Page images/download/thumbnails/5317406/fit-page24.png Adjusts the current page so that the whole current page will be placed centralized within the canvas.
