******************************************************************************** mcf2graph : Convert Molecular Coding Format to graphics with MetaPost Author : Akira Yamaji version : 5.12 2024-02-25 E-mail : mcf2graph@gmail.com Located at : http://www.ctan.org/pkg/mcf2graph ******************************************************************************** 1. Introduction Molecular Coding Format(MCF) is new linear notation represent chemical structure diagrams. This Coding is named from programing technique such as operator, array, scope, macro, adressing, etc. mcf2graph convert from MCF to SVG, PNG, EPS, MOL file. It is also able to calculate molecular weight, exact mass, molecular formula. 2. The distribution of software ( 1) README This file ( 2) CHANGELOG Changelog file of mcf2graph ( 3) mcf_to_graph.cmd Batch file for compile MCF lib >mcf_to_graph template_lib.mcf drag and drop library files on this batch create svg in ./template_lib ( 4) mcf2graph.mp Main macro of Metapost ( 5) mcf_exa_soc.mp Metapost source file example ( 6) main_lib.mcf MCF library file ( 7) template_lib.mcf Template library file ( 8) template_soc.mp Template metapost source file ( 9) mcf_manual.tex MCF syntax manual (10) mcf_manual.pdf PDF of (9) typeset with LuaLaTeX (11) mcf_example.tex List of Molecule (12) mcf_example.pdf PDF of (11) typeset with LuaLaTeX 3. How to use mcf2graph with MetaPost Minimum requirement to use mcf2graph : mpost.exe,mpost.dll,mpost.mp,plain.mp (1) >mcf_to_graph filename.mcf => output svg(default),png,mol,report (2) >mpost filename.mp => output svg file (3) >mpost -s ahangle=1 filename.mp => output png file (600dpi) (4) >mpost -s ahangle=11 filename.mp => output png file (1200dpi) (5) >mpost -s ahangle=2 filename.mp => output eps(.mps) file (6) >mpost -s ahangle=3 filename.mp => output eps(.eps) file (7) >mpost -s ahlength=5 filename.mp => output mol file(V2000) (8) >mpost -s ahlength=6 filename.mp => output mol file(V3000) (9) >mpost -s ahlength=7 filename.mp => output report file 4.
