Dear Alan,

thanks a lot for fixed code.  Could you point out where to find the
updated manual for MkIV?

Cheers,

\usemodule[chemic] is MKII. It has been replace with core MKIV commands.

The syntax has been somewhat rationalized and many bugs corrected.

The example can be reproduced as follows:


\starttext

\startchemical [height=4500,bottom=2500]
  \bottext{$\beta$-D-Fructopyranose}
  \chemical[SIXFRONT,BB123,B4,+SB5,-SB6,Z6] [O]
  \chemical[+LR12345,LRZ12345] [OH,\SR{HO},H,H,H]
  \chemical[+RR12345,RRZ12345] [CH_2OH,H,\SL{OH},\SR{HO},H]
\stopchemical

\stoptext 



Unfortunately, the revised manual still has some errors that I need to
fix...

[NTG-context] ppchTeX

Unfortunately, typesetting with MkIV distributed with TL 2016 produces
something really weird (see attached).

Is the module `chemic` compatible with MkIV or am I doing something wrong?

The idea is to draw the bond, then move, then the atom:

\chemical [ONE,SB5,Z5,.2MOV1,Z0,.2MOV1,SB1,1.2MOV1,Z0] [H_3C,CH_2,CH_2]

a bit sloppy, perhaps, but such is the syntax.
On the other hand, one can make multiple calls to \chemical, thus
making the code more readable.

Alternately, one can shorten the bond segments which are defined as
[.25,.75] of the bond length, but this turns out to be less aesthetic
than adding small moves.

One could imagine also to draw the text inside a framed box using a
white background, as in
\framed[frame=off,background=color,backgroundcolor=white]{\chemical{CH_2}}
but I do not like this solution at all.


I suppose that we could modify the underlying MP code to avoid
extending any bond over the text box, but this would impose that the
user draw the nodes before the bonds and would surely fail as one
builds molecules in segments (unless the user be fully aware of the
drawing process). We decided that this would be worse.

The mkiv chemistry module (replacing the mkii PPCHTEX code) uses
tighter spacing around the nodes, which looks nicer with single atomic
symbols. You are placing CH and CH_2 groups so it is necessary to
increasing the spacing at these spots. One trick could be:
  \chemical [ONE,.2MOV1]
which moves .2 bond lengths in the x-direction.

You also need to pay attention to the automatic alignment of symbols,
in particular when using ONE. For Z0 is centered, Z1 is right adjusted,
Z5 is left adjusted... One can explicitly fix the alignment using:
  \chemical [ONE,simalign=lft,Z1]
(MetaPost alignment keys) but it is much easier to leave simalign=auto
and to choose appropriate nodes (using [ONE,MOV1,Z0] rather than
[ONE,Z1] for example).

\chemical [rulecolor=red,ONE,B]

Of course, it is a "global" so you will need to use multiple calls in
order to color particular bonds.

[NTG-context] PPCHTEX: bonds overlaps the radicals groups

Some time ago I wrote the code attached to create random branched organic

overwrites the radicals. How can I fix this?

Another question: is there a way to change the bonds color? I would like to

[NTG-context] ppchtex, color and mkiv

[Jörg Hagmann]

From a thread on this list (May 2009: 
http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20090512.132914.5c29b5f4.en.html) 
I gather that whereas colouring a whole molecule works fine, colouring 
groups within a chemical structure is not yet fully implemented in mkiv. 
 Is that still correct?


Putting colour on atoms works with {\blue C} etc. or \defineprocessor 
... etc. chemred-C etc.. However, I couldn't find a way to colour the 
bonds belonging to the group. Is there one?


ppchTEX does a superb job and I hope that the most useful features will 
be implemented in the near future in mkiv!

The only way that I managed to do this is to draw the chemical twice and to 
use overlays (or to trick the bounding box using left=,right=,top=,bottom=). 
It would be nice to be able to draw colored bonds, perhaps with the syntax:
\chemical[SIX,rulecolor=blue,SB1,rulecolor=black,SB2..6][]

The problem is that we usually don't mix single tokens with token=val.
(but Hans has broken this rule with an experimental feature: Z1=C, currently 
broken as it converts C to lowercase...)

For now, rulecolor= can only be specified in \startchemical or \setupchemical.

Maybe we can discuss this with Hans off-list?

Hi Alan,

Thanks for the explanations.


Try style=sans. We also have color= and rulecolor=.


syle=sans works, but not for aligned atoms, e.g. \SL{OH}; a bug? For the 
time being, I can use \SL{\ss OH}.



There are some problems still in mkiv, notably with CARBON, NEWMANSTAGGER,
NEWMANECLIPSE, and CHAIR. Hans (and I) intend to work on this but it is not
too high of a priority for the moment. Let me know if you have other problems
in using ppchtex.


I'm sure there will be more questions!

I'm using context version 2010.09.05 13.23, have there been any 
improvements since then?

There are indeed bugs in the use of \SL{} under mkiv.  For example, one 
currently needs to use \SL{\small CH$_2$} rather than \SL{CH_2} as one would 
expect (use of both \small and explicit math mode). The same is true for any 
text macro, i.e. \rotate[rotation=+30]{\small N$|$NH}.

Hans is on copy as he can probably find the bug rapidly, that is once he can 
find the time to look into this.

This gives absolute values. I would prefer something giving me fit +

width=,left=,right=,height=,top=,bottom= (of course, only two of width, left, 
and right are to be used at a time, as well as two of height, top, and bottom) 
define the bounding box of the drawing. This is given in units of 4000 per

\startchemical [frame=on,axis=on,width=4000,height=4000]

Indeed, the problem is that I tried to run the pstricks option
under pdflatex, which, of course, does not work!
As I (almost) never use LaTeX anymore (and certainly never dvips)
I had forgotten about this.

I guess that I have become far too accustomed to ConTeXt and,
in particular, mkiv.

As to the original post, it yields acceptable results. The new ppchtex
in mkiv core is an improvement and, as Hans confirms, will not be backported
to laTeX. This could be one of many good reasons to switch from LaTeX to
ConTeXt!

So PPCHTEX is frozen for LaTeX?


apart from bug fixes (and/or if someone submits more drawing definitions)

in fact, as we move on to luatex, the context version for pdftex / xetex 
is frozen as well



Indeed, the problem is that I tried to run the pstricks option

The pictex output is not convincing, so I hoped the PSTricks output
would gave better result. In general it works, but the diagonal bonds
are too long. I Hoped that this could be fixed.


if we kno wwhere the problem sits it will of course be solved, however 
as i don't run latex i cannot see what goes wrong



Skimming the ppchtex.noc I found that metapost is one possible output
driver. I also found a documentation for metapost. But I don't see how
I can make PPCHTEX work with metapost in LaTeX. I even don't know if
metapost can be used in LaTeX as in ConTeXt.


in context mkii metapost support has been integrated for quite some time 
and in context mkiv it can be processed without noticing so there 
ppchtex uses even more metapost (which is why there are also some extras)



As I (almost) never use LaTeX anymore (and certainly never dvips)
I had forgotten about this.

I guess that I have become far too accustomed to ConTeXt and,
in particular, mkiv.

As to the original post, it yields acceptable results. The new ppchtex
in mkiv core is an improvement and, as Hans confirms, will not be
backported
to laTeX. This could be one of many good reasons to switch from LaTeX to
ConTeXt!

Well I am curious and I would evaluate ConTeXt. I think that
http://www.pragma-ade.com/ will be a good starting point to do that.
Unfortunately I did not found How to install ConTeXt. Can this be done
by adding some packages in MiKTeX 2.8? Probably a silly question...


best start with installing the so called minimals (from 
contextgarden.net) which will give you an independent tree that does not 
interfere with anything else


btw, an easy test is:

\starttext

\startTEXpage

... some chemical ...

\stopTEXpage

\stoptext

which will give you a graphic that you then can include in a latex doc

[NTG-context] PPCHTEX with PSTricks option

[Helge Kruse]

The minimal example shows diagonal lines. Since the line output of 
pictex is limited, I would choose PSTricks as output driver for better 
quality. When I enable the pstricks option, these diagonal lines collide 
with the radical atoms. You can easily reproduce this by removing the % 
comment symbol.


How can we improve the postscript output. Any hints are appreciated.

Best regards,
Helge Kruse



\documentclass{minimal}
\usepackage%[pstricks]

\setupchemical[scale=small,width=fit,frame=off]

[NTG-context] PPCHTEX - questions and maybe buglet

[Bernhard Rosensteiner]

Hi all,

ppchtex is really nice. after experimenting with it  i found some buglets:

\starttext

\setupchemical[axis=off,frame=on, option=test, size=medium, scale=medium, 
right=2000, left=3000, height=6000,textsize=medium]%textsize and option=test 
has no effect - why?
\startchemical 
\chemical[SIX,SB135,DB246,SR6,Z,CRZ6][N,C,N,C,C,C,{\LC{\color[green]{NH}}}]%here
 color works
\color[green]{\chemical[ADJ3,Five,SB235,DB4,Z345,SR3,CRZ3][N,C,H,H]}%color does 
not work here, manual says it should -why?
\bottext{\offset[y=-\baselineskip]{Adenin}}
\stopchemical

\stoptext

maybe someone can also explain how the OFF key works. the behaviour is strange 
in my opinion. i found nothing precise in the manual. on 
http://chneukirchen.org/blog/archive/2004/05/ppchtex.html i found following 
explanation:

18OFF1: do 18 small steps in direction 1 (right)

but this don´t work - even with the example on the homepage.

Hi,

 OK -- but what does it means ?

To the best of my knowledge, it only means that no ToUnicode values
have been set up using \pdfglyphtounicode yet at the moment that pdftex
(or luatex for an 8-bit font) is writing some ToUnicode values for some
font to the pdf disk file. (in mkiv, such values can be set up via
pdfr-def.mkii)

The warning is not pointless per se, but special ToUnicode entries are
usually not needed at all for latin scripts (AR is smart enough to
solve common cases itself). That makes the warning a bit over the top,
and so I removed it in luatex to avoid confusing users.

Best wishes,
Taco

\usemodule[chemic]
\setupchemical[rulecolor=red]
\starttext
\startchemical
\chemical[ONE,SB,Z0][C]
\stopchemical
\stoptext


However, the following variant does not work.

\usemodule[chemic]
\starttext
\startchemical[rulecolor=red]
\chemical[ONE,SB,Z0][C]
\stopchemical
\stoptext

I don't understand, as my (quick) look at the source code
indicates that the parameters should be handled identically.


no, that was actually the problem ... local vs global ... for the moment 
set it up local (per formula) as i need to make an inheritance chain


now that i've split in mkii/mkiv that's easier since we no longer have 
to keep things working in latex (which means that we can use more core 
helper code)


just remind me occasionally

we can rewrite ppchtex a bit but it depends on how much time you want to 
spend on filling in the holes that i will create (i can make the framework)

[NTG-context] ppchtex color

[Alan BRASLAU]

No, ppchtex is not dead...

I would like to use color.

1. color= and rulecolor= does not appear to be implemented (mkiv)...
2. how can one change the color of the bonds?
3. using \color[red]{} causes the text to be offset.

minimal example:

\setupcolors[state=start]
\usemodule[chemic]
\starttext

\startchemical
\chemical[ONE,SB,Z0][C]
\stopchemical

\startchemical
\color[red]{\chemical[ONE,SB,Z0][C]}
\stopchemical
% text C is offset...

\startchemical
\chemical[ONE,SB,Z0][{\red C}]
\stopchemical
% OK, but I would like to draw the bonds as well in red.

\startchemical[color=red]
\chemical[ONE,SB,Z0][C]
\stopchemical
% C is red in mkii, black in mkiv

\startchemical[rulecolor=red]
\chemical[ONE,SB,Z0][C]
\stopchemical
% bonds are black, C is red in mkii, black in mkiv

add a % after the } (maybe we should ignore endofline, i.e. make a mkiv

[NTG-context] ppchtex experience

Hello,

I need to write some chemical strucutures in LaTeX and dont know, what is
the best tools to do it. The structures are crown ether and cryptands. Yes,
and I am unexperienced.

1) What would be the way to write a [18]crown-6 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crown_ether) structure formula with PPCHTEX?

2) Is there any kind of repository, where I can take common structures
and/or adapt these to the required structures?

Re: [NTG-context] PPCHTEX and LaTeX

Hi Helge,

Thanks for your kind reply. I have a MikTeX system installed on  
Windows XP. The context is part of the installation.




Although I think that all packages mentioned below are installed I  
get some error messages in the log. The dvi output is generated, but  
the errors are strange. Is this a kind of incompatibility described  
in a FAQ?

This problem was mentioned once 2007 and Hans fixed it
and I don't get it with TeXLive 2008.

Can you send use the file ppchtex.noc from your system,
it's possible MikTeX includes a old version of the file
without the patch.

[NTG-context] PPCHTEX: Reaction troubles

Hi,I already sent this message to the ppchtex mailing list, but apparently it's dead since a few years, so I hope you can help me with my problem.If I write a reaction as shown on the
manual on page 1-32 ( or see below) the reaction isn't nicely centered
as in the manual, but crammed to the right edge, also there are large
spaces between the elements of the reactions. I also have the feeling,
that the \setupchemical command doesn't have any effects. I'm running MikTeX 2.7.Can anybody help me out with this?Thanks for your help!PerHere's my tex file:\documentclass{scrartcl}\usepackage{m-pictex}\usepackage{color}\usepackage{m-ch-de}\begin{document}\setupchemical [size=small, scale=small, width=fit, height=5500, bottom=1500]\hbox {\startchemical  \chemical[SIX,B,ER6,RZ6][O] \stopchemical \startchemical  \chemical[SPACE,PLUS,SPACE] \stopchemical \startchemical  \chemical[FIVE,ROT4,B125,+SB3,-SB4,Z4,SR4,RZ4][N,H] \stopchemical

When  I run this through context the output looks ok, but that
may not mean much as context no longer uses pictex for chemics,
I believe. Someone with a good latex setup should have a look.

 there is now possibility.

You could try to write the ConTeXt code into a external file and
process this file on the fly with write18.

 But today I think I found a bug in the german 
 version of ppchtex. I used the following little script to set an example 
 formula.
 The used code is the following:
 
 \verwendemodule[pictex,chemie]
 
 
 \starttext
 
 \stellechemieein[breite=passend,oben=1500,unten=3500]
 \startchemie
 \chemie[ONE,Z0,DB1,SB3,SB7,Z3,Z7,MOV1,Z0,SB1,SB3,Z3,MOV1,Z0,DB1,SB3,Z3,MO
 V1,Z0,SB3,SB7,Z3,Z7][C,H,H,C,H,C,H,C,H,H]
 \textunter{1,3-Butadieen}
 \stopchemie
 
 \stoptext
 
 with the following commands I got the same errormessages.

[...]

 ConTeXt  ver: 2007.01.12 15:56 MKII  fmt: 2007.12.29  int: german/german

This is a ancient version, I tried your example with the last release
and it works for me.

[...]

 
 Would be nice if somebody has an idea how to solve the problem or where 
 something went wrong in the code.
 
 Another question is how I could get ppchtex to work in a 
 LaTeXe-environment. Would be nice if there also would be the possibility 
 to load the german version.

\usepackage[pictex]{m-ch-de}

or

\usepackage[pstricks]{m-ch-de}

 Thanks to all for there help and have a happy new year everybody.

[NTG-context] ppchtex german language compiling problems

[Martin Scholz]

Hi there,

I'm new to ConTeXt and found out how nice it is to construct coverpages. 
So it would be nice to have an opportunity to include the whole 
procedure into an LaTeXe environment. As far as I already read up to now 
there is now possibility. But today I think I found a bug in the german 
version of ppchtex. I used the following little script to set an example 
formula.
The used code is the following:

\verwendemodule[pictex,chemie]


\starttext

\stellechemieein[breite=passend,oben=1500,unten=3500]
\startchemie
\chemie[ONE,Z0,DB1,SB3,SB7,Z3,Z7,MOV1,Z0,SB1,SB3,Z3,MOV1,Z0,DB1,SB3,Z3,MO
V1,Z0,SB3,SB7,Z3,Z7][C,H,H,C,H,C,H,C,H,H]
\textunter{1,3-Butadieen}
\stopchemie

\stoptext

with the following commands I got the same errormessages.

texexec --dvi --mainlanguage=de chemie.tex
texexec --ps --mainlanguage=de chemie.tex
texexec --pdf --mainlanguage=de chemie.tex
texexec --mainlanguage=de chemie.tex

The resulting errormessage is the following:

Re: [NTG-context] ppchtex

[Willi Egger]

Hi Johannes,
I looked at your coding.
The use module line has two typo's It should be \usemodule[pictex,chemic]
The statements are not complete i.e. you forgot  the \stopcombination. 
Further when starting a combination one needs to give the number of rows 
and columns e.g. [2*3]. with only [6] all of the structures are placed 
inline, but only 4 of them fit in one row  so ...
In order to produce output you need to enclose the code between 
\starttext ... \stoptext.

Please see the attached file
Kind regards
Willi

AW: AW: [NTG-context] PPCHTeX Bug?

[Thomas Meyer]

Thanks to all who answered me! Special thanks to Tobias.
I will use ochem or something like that under LaTeX because I need
seven-membered rings.
Or is it possible to use ochem under ConTeXt?

Greetings

Thomas

Is it possible to create seven-membered ring-systems with ppchtex? I 
never found something in the manual about it.
  

Probably not. Hans, how about implementing those?

No answer from Hans!

Well, it is possible by abusing the basal structures ONE and SIX. As
an example for a 120 degree angle using SIX see the sample some messages
before in this thread.
However, you are right, there are things which are not present, such as
certain bonds etc.

Re: [NTG-context] PPCHTeX Bug?

[Mojca Miklavec]

In my opinion - it's not only its complexity preventing the users from 
using it, but also it's insufficient flexibility. As long as I 
understood the manual (and tried to draw some formulas), it is possible 
to create a certain subset of images, which covers the most needs, but 
certainly not all of them (there's no way to make such a trivial thing 
as a thetraedral or trigonal angle - 109.5 and 120 degrees).

see: http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-ppchtex/2002/02.html
Even the ones with lots of experience gave up.
Perhaps chemistry is too complex to be applied easily without some help 
of graphical tools. SMILES 
(http://www.daylight.com/dayhtml/smiles/ssmiles.html) could be a 
solution, say

   \startSSMILES
   CC(=O)O
   \stopSSMILES
producing a nice picture of acetic acid (using metafun), but perhaps 
still not serving all the puposes a chemist needs.

Hi Thomas,
I believe your problem is that ppchtex is a very specialistic package
and there are not that many people using it to it's full capacity. As a 
result of that, there isn't that much expert knowledge available. Personally,
I don't understand any of it. Luckily, the only chemical stuff I have ever had 
to typeset could be done by cutpaste and making trivial changes to the 
examples in the manual.

Betreff: AW: [NTG-context] PPCHTeX Bug?

Hello, 

I am new here in this list and I am the one who has the problems with
ppchtex.
At first I have to thank Hraban and Tobias for their committed help!
Under LaTeX I tried the downloaded version of ppchtex.tex from
pragma-ade.nl. I got only the lines for the bonds between the atoms, no
letters for the atomic symbols. And I got the error message Tobias and
Hraban reported.
Tobias' version of ppchtex.tex works fine!
The downloaded version works fine only under ConTeXt not under LaTeX.
Is there a bug? Or am I to stupid?

Another question:
Is it possible to create seven-membered ring-systems with ppchtex? I never
found something in the manual about it.

Greetings 

Thomas

 not sure about that, chairs are kind of special and hard coded, tobias may know 
 since he's the ppchtex expert 

trying to create a poster on carbohydrate chemistry with PPCHTeX I
stumbled across the same problem - it is not possible to place an oxygen
into the chair-structure. What does it mean hard coded - is it not
possible to try to get it working by editing ppchtex.tex?

A second question, related to the first: is it possible to define
another bond type in ppchtex.tex - in particular, a hatched wedge like
bond, indicating a bond pointing behind the plane of paper (as opposed
to the already existing SD-bond, a filled wedge like bond pointing in
front out of the paper plane)? I had a look at ppchtex.tex and thought
of starting from 
...
\def\plotchemicaldeltaline#1#2#3#4%

But if things are compiled in somewhere ...?

I don't see from the log whether you have them, but in any case a DVI

Oh, excuse me, I didn't see, that the dvi depends on other files...
Now I send a pdf file.
 

With 2004.4.9 this works - well, the bonds are a bit randomly 
distributed but otherwise. Can you state a bit more clearly what should 
be different from the result you get?
   

The result should be as in example 5.9 on page 1-18 of the manual
(http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/mp-ch-en.pdf).
I complied the same TeX-file with an older version (2003.1.31) and the
result is ok (also attached as pdf).
Now, temporally working with the old ConTeXt version, I try to substitute
Atoms in a chair structure. Is this possible?
The following example shows the situation a little bit clearer:
\usemodule[pictex,chemic]
\starttext
\startchemical
\chemical [SIX,B,Z] [a,b,c,d,e,f]
\stopchemical
\startchemical
\chemical [CHAIR,B,Z] [a,b,c,d,e,f] % Z seems to be without effect here...
\stopchemical
\stoptext
Cheers, Peter
 

looks like there is some interference with pdf inclusion (quite hard to 
find reasonable compromised in handling offsets and bboxes); i'll look 
into it

[NTG-context] PPCHTeX and (non)standard bond angles

[Mojca Miklavec]

Perhaps there is some other better place to post this question, but 
since ConTeXt has put quite some effort to be compatible with it and 
since I cannot subscribe to ntg-ppchtex: I've tried to draw some 
chemical formulas with PPCTeX and wasn't able to find any option, 
allowing to visualize sp2 hibridisation on ONE atoms (i.e. 120 degrees). 
It is possible to make some approximation (2,4,7 for example), but it 
looks far away from perfect - the angles should be EXACTLY 120 degrees 
in that case (the same goes for NEWMAN).
(some other, but maybe more exotic problems include PH_3, NH_3 for 
example, not forgetting about water)

 H
/
P-H
\
 H
- Does there exist anything that would make SB and other bonds in ONE 
extent to the center of atom (the centar atom needs not be specified if 
it is C atom); perhaps R? How may I draw '/\/\/' for heksane (with angle 
109 degrees)?

- How can I name only one atom in the ring? (with the other places being 
filled with lines)

Thank you,
Mojca Miklavec
