Hi Mathias,

 

Thanks for the tip.  Your solution is cleaner than mine; I didn't know it
was possible to do something like gen2D = ob.OBOp.FindType("gen2D") .  :)

Dear Lee-Ping,

 

 

I do my 2D structure diagram generation [1] from 3D coordinates like this:

 

 

import openbabel as ob

 

molecule = ob.OBMol()

# load your file into `molecule` with ob.OBConversion()

molecule2D = ob.OBMol(molecule)

gen2D = ob.OBOp.FindType("gen2D")

if not gen2D: raise NameError("name 'gen2D' is not defined")

gen2D.Do(molecule2D)

assert(not molecule2D.Has3D())

assert(molecule.NumAtoms() == molecule2D.NumAtoms())

 

 

This is copy-edited-pasted from my code [2], I hope I did not forget
anything crucial and that it helps...

Hi everyone,

 

Thanks for the suggestions - I realize that by starting with the SMILES
string and not the 3D structure I might have caused some confusion.

 

My main goal is actually to draw the 2D representation from the 3D
structure, attached again here (I'm a quantum chemist); the SMILES string is
derived from the 3D structure and I think it's correct, though I could be
wrong about that. 

 

This is a more general problem - often I want to draw carbenes, radicals,
and isolated atoms from the 3D structure where the hydrogens are there
(though the octet rule may not be satisfied) - thus I don't want the program
to interpret the molecules chemically and fill in hydrogens that it thinks
is missing.  I don't think the OBMol object is adding any extra atoms
because it corresponds to the 3D structure, but when I draw the SVG the
extra hydrogens show up. 

 

Note that the added unnumbered hydrogens appear as "CH" rather than "C-H",
so they are different from the hydrogens that I explicitly added when
creating the OBMol object from the 3D structure.

 

Noel: I do want explicit hydrogens to be displayed, but only the hydrogens
that I explicitly have.  I don't want carbon monoxide to be shown as O#CH
since my starting point is the CO in the 3D structure. 

 

If you could point me to the correct file, I could write the code myself.
I'm a bit new to the code base so I might have some questions along the way.

 

Thanks,

Hi,

 

For carbon monoxyde, try this smile: [C-]#[O+]

Regards,
Pascal
