Similar to what you export from avogadro when you choose to export a PNG. OpenBabel is only able to generate 2d text based image AFAIK. One possibility i have tested is to use OpenBabel to generate a .pdb file and then use raster3D to generate a 3d molecule image. The image raster3d generate isn’t as nice as avogadros, and i have a hard time to render a atom of constant size. I want to have a Carbon atom to be the same size in pixels regardless of generating a simple CO or a more complex molecule. I dont know if avogadro supports this either, but at least if i could hack a python script i might be able to fix it myself in avogadro.
