[NTG-context] Re: chemical structure diagrams

Hi Alan, I’m sorry, then I misunderstood. But happy to know it’s working and looking forward to the docs! Hraban Am 12.11.24 um 13:55 schrieb Alan Braslau:

Hello,

The chemical structure package in ConTeXt/MetaPost *was* rewritten and is fully functional. However, the rewritten documentation did not keep up with some of the latest development changes and has errors. I have promised Hans to fix this but have not gotten to it (yet)!

The present package is fully usable: I published a two-volume book that made heavy use of it.

The ConTeXt package is very graphical-designer oriented and not so friendly as a chemist might like to use it. That would be a next step. I will look at the LaTeX package that you show to see how it works and if there are any good ideas.

Hi, since recently had that nice thread about electrons and Hans announced to rewrite the chemical stuff, I wanted to mention this LaTeX package for drawing chemical structure diagrams in MetaPost: https://ctan.org/pkg/mcf2graph Maybe there’s some usable code?

(I’m not very interested in chemistry and won’t need it. It’s just a pity that we had this nice module and it doesn’t work any more.)
