Hi Loren, the embedded version hasn't really been a focus of development, so this could probably need some improvments. Feel free to comment on whatever you think about it. See my comments below > I have a desktop Swing application where I am currently using the > JChemPaintEditorApplet as one of the input/output methods. I am using CDK > 1.3.1, but don't currently have the source for JChemPaint. The source of JCP is in the svn repository at https://cdk.svn.sf.net/svnroot/cdk/jchempaint, we recommend using the 3_0 branch right now. > > The method I have used for creating the editor panel is > > final JChemPaintEditorApplet jcp=new JChemPaintEditorApplet(); > .... > add(jcp,constraints); > try{jcp.init();}catch (Exception ex){} > > this seems to work well enough, but I think all will agree is a bit silly. I think you should use the JChemPaintPanel(IChemModel chemModel, String gui, boolean debug, JChemPaintAbstractApplet applet) constructor. This should save you from calling init(). I can't really see what the emtpy constructor is for. I will remove this if nobody has an idea what we need it for. > > To avoid the exceptions I have tried using: > final JChemPaintPanel jcp=new JChemPaintPanel(new ChemModel(), > "JCP", true); > but this throws a NullPointerException when I try to run the program. > > I guess I don't really understand the structure of the JChemPaintPanel. The structure of the EditorApplet is like this: JCPEditorApplet contains a JChemPaintPanel. This has a BorderLayout and has these components: - NORTH: A container with menu and InsertTextPanel if switched on - CENTER: A ScrollPane containing a RenderPanel in center, toolbars in N, S, W, E if switched on > I > really like the layout of the Applet, but prefer to use it as part of a > desktop application. What is the standard method of including the > JChemPaintEditorApplet panel in the application? As I said, there is no standard method right now. Please give the other constructor a try. Stefan
