The CACTVS Tools
We distribute a precompiled
collection of selected tools from the CACTVS system
free of charge to anybody.
The distribution currently contains:
- Full-fledged 2D structure editor with many advanced features
- 2D structure browser
- Spectra display (IR,MS,Cont. MS,NMR,EPR,UV/VIS,GC) for JCAMP files
- XY data plotter
- WWW Chemical MIME access tool
- Chemical GIF image viewer and generator
- Networked WWW substructure search tool
- Networked NMR shift archive access tool (Sharc)
- More undocumented stuff
Get It Now!
The structure editor is the key to our
3D coordinate
computation service.
Ultimately, the whole CACTVS
system will become freely available. But give us some more time.
Technical note:
The distribution basically
contains a collection of Tcl/Tk scripts which
fullfill very different display and editing tasks but
run on the very same generic server program, which is included
as precompiled executable. This program
contains a full
Tcl/TK interpreter
with many popular extensions, the CACTVS system universal
chemistry data manager, and a set
of commands to access the data manager functionality by Tcl
commands. The program can be reprogrammed for new tasks
with short Tcl/Tk scripts with a fraction of the effort and time it takes
to program similar functionality
from scratch. The programs in this distribution
will probably be mostly used as stand-alone tools. However,
they were designed to operate in the full
distributed CACTVS environment,
exchanging arbitary chemical information
and instructions how to handle it via RPC with their master workbenches.
