How to generate a ball and stick depiction of a molecule in SVG with the "babel" command?
✍: FYIcenter.com
If you want to a ball and stick depiction of a molecule in SVG format,
you can use the "-o svg -xS" option with the "babel" command.
For example, the following command generate a ball and stick depiction of of the tyrosine molecule in SVG format:
fyicenter$ obabel "-:c1cc(ccc1CC(C(=O)O)N)O" -O tyrosine-ball-stick.svg -xS 1 molecule converted
As a comparison, running the following command generates a normal skeleton depiction of of the same molecule in SVG format:
fyicenter$ obabel "-:c1cc(ccc1CC(C(=O)O)N)O" -O tyrosine-skeleton.svg 1 molecule converted
Open both output files, tyrosine-skeleton.svg and tyrosine-ball-stick.svg, in a Web browser, you see the differences:
Note that "-xS" option was added in Open Babel 2.4 for SVG format.
