Hi! Just found BKchem when browsing the web. I toyed with it a bit and it seems to me that it is the best opensource (and Linux) 2D chemical structure drawing program I have used so far. :)
But I have a question about generic atoms and groups (X - for halogens, M - metals, R - alkyl, Ph - benzene, Ar - aromatic group etc.). Is there support for this in BKchem? This feature is really important to be able to use BKchem on daily basis. I tried to draw a single atom and put an atribute (radical, charge) on it, but it works only for symbols of chemical elements - X is treated like ordinary text. I looked a bit in source and found that there is periodic table of elements with some additional query atoms and groups (like X, R). As I understand they are used in structure search, but not in drawing. Is it so? Any info would be very much appreciated. Keep up good work!
