JChemPaint
Encyclopedia
JChemPaint is an editor and viewer
for chemical structures in 2D
.
It is free and open source software
, written in Java
and so it runs on Windows
, Mac OS X
, Linux
and Unix
systems. There is a standalone application (editor), and two varieties of applet (editor and viewer) that can be integrated into web pages.
JChemPaint is currently being developed as part of The Chemistry Development Kit
, and a SWT-based JChemPaint application is being developed, as part of Bioclipse
.
