Rendering
Caffeine with Rendering - Ball and Stick

Caffeine with Rendering – Spacefill
Hydrogens
Explicit Hydrogens
Sets the visibility state of explicit hydrogen atoms.
Note: The structure should contain explicit Hs for display.

Caffeine with Explicit Hydrogens
Implicit Hydrogens
It can be selected, which implicit hydrogens to be displayed: All, On Heteroatoms, On Heteroatoms or Terminal, or Off.

Misc
Atom Mapping
Displays atom mapping.
Atom Numbers
Displays atom numbers.

Caffeine with Atom Numbers displayed
Bond Lengths
Display bond lengths.

Caffeine with Atom Numbers displayed
Graph Invariants
Displays graph invariants.

Caffeine with Graph Invariants displayed
Lone Pairs
Displays lone pairs.

Caffeine with Lone Pairs displayed
Valence Errors
Displays valence errors in the structure.

Quaternary ammonium ion with no charge
Preferences – Bonds
Any Bond Line Style
It can be selected, how to display bonds with unknown order: Automatic, Dashed, Solid. Automatic means dashed line in most cases, solid line only when all bonds are generated from atom coordinates (e.g. XYZ and PDB files).
Down Wedge Orientation
Sets the wedge bond display convention. Down wedge points downward in MDL's convention, upward (at the chiral center) in Daylight's.
Aromatic Bonds As Discrete Double Bonds
Displays the aromatic structures in Kekule format (discrete double bonds instead of the aromatic rings).
Preferences – Display
Atom Label Font Size
Sets atom label font size in C-C bond length units. Default value is: 0.4 [Atom Label Font Size]*1.54 Å

Caffeine with 0.8 Atom Label Size
Ball Radius
Sets ball radius for ball and stick mode. Default value is: 0.5

Caffeine with 0.75 Ball Radius
Carbon Labels
It can be selected the label of carbon atoms in structures to be displayed:
Always: Always shows the atom labels of carbon atoms.
Never: Never shows the atom labels of carbon atoms.
At straight angles and at implicit H atoms: Shows the atom labels of carbon atoms at straight angles and at implicit Hydrogens. This is the default option.

Caffeine with Carbon Labels: Never

Caffeine with Carbon Labels: Always
Double Bond Width
Sets the width of double bonds in C-C bond length units. Default value is: 0.18 [Double Bond Width]*1.54 Å = [Double Bond Width]*scale pixels.

Caffeine with 0.36 Double Bond Width
Stick Thickness
Sets the stick diameter for ball and stick mode. Default value is: 0.1.

Caffeine with 0.2 Stick Thickness
Wire Thickness
Sets bond thickness in wireframe mode. Default value is: 0.064.

Caffeine with 0.28 Wire Thickness
Stereo
Absolute Labels
Sets the visibility state of absolute stereo configuration labels.

Structure with absolute stereo configuration label displayed
E/Z Labels
Sets the visibility state of absolute double bond stereo configuration labels.

Structure with absolute stereo double bond configuration label displayed
R/S Labels
Sets the visibility state of R/S labels.
