Editable and Searchable 2D Molecular Images
A 2D molecular image, like the one depicting fluoxetine at the top of this article, is a peculiar beast.
Types of molecular images
The advent of fast and inexpensive computer workstations with high resolution color raster graphics has created the possibility of making attractive and sometimes insightful molecular images. However, the computer screen is two-dimensional and special techniques must be used to create the illusion of three dimensions. Moreover, three dimensions are not enough if we want to display continuously changing properties, like electrostatic potential or electron density.
