NAME

       xdrawchem - open-source chemical structures editor similar to ChemDraw

SYNOPSIS

       xdrawchem [INPUT-FILE] [OPTION(S)...] [OUTPUT-FILE]

DESCRIPTION

       xdrawchem is a program that attempts to duplicate the functionality of ChemDraw, a molecule structure
       drawing application. It operates in much the same fashion, and should be highly familiar to users of
       ChemDraw.

       xdrawchem has file compatibility with Chemdraw and MDL files. It can also create images in popular
       formats like PNG and EPS.

       xdrawchem accepts the following options:

       -png OUTPUT-FILE
          Create a PNG image of an input file and exit.

       -t -png OUTPUT-FILE
          Create a transparent PNG image of an input file and exit.

       -3d OUTPUT-FILE
          Create a Make 3D model of input file and output a MDL mofile.

       -h, --help
          Show summary of options.

       -v, --version
          Show version of program.
