Daylight v4.9
Release Date: 1 February 2008

Name

prado - print a depiction object

Unix Synopsis

prado [options] out.ps

Description

prado(1) prints depictions of structure (SMILES). It reads a SMILES or TDT file on standard input, and produces PostScript (tm) on output.

Typically (but depending on option settings) prado will produce a grid of depictions, one structure in each cell of the grid. More details of prado's operation can be found in the Daylight "Print Package User's Guide".

Options

-DEPICT_HIDE_CHI_H TRUE|FALSE
Do not show implicit chiral hydrogens when not necessary for illustration of stereochemistry. Default FALSE.
-DEPICT_HLEN_PCT [0.67 - 1.00]
Scalar value for shortening the length of bonds to hydrogen. The allowed range is 0.67 (67%) to 1.00 (100%). Default 1.00.
-DEPICT_OLD_STYLE TRUE|FALSE
Use pre-v4.83 bond style renditions. Default FALSE.
-DEPICT_SUPPRESS_LABELS TRUE|FALSE
Suppress atom labelling for chains. Default TRUE.
-PRINT_BINDER NONE|LEFT|TOP|LEFTRIGHT|TOPBOTTOM
Paper margin to get extra room for binding. Default NONE.
-PRINT_BOLDWIDTH THIN|NORMAL|WIDE|EXTRAWIDE
Bold graphic line width (shows foreground, substructure). Default NORMAL.
-PRINT_COLORMODE BOW|WOB|COW|COB
Printing color mode [Black|White|Color] On [Black|White]. Default BOW (Black-On-White).
-PRINT_COLUMNS N
Number of columns in grid of depictions. Default 3.
-PRINT_FOOTER STANDARD|NONE
Print footer information and page number. Default is STANDARD.
-PRINT_HINTS NONE|FROMTO
Printing hints for depicting monomer definitions. FROMTO causes atoms of atomic weight zero (SMILES "*") that have charge -1 to be printed as the words "From", -2 as "To" and positive charges as "Xn" where n is the charge (e.g. "[*+3]" is "X3". In addition, the picture is oriented so that the "From" and "To" atoms are to the left and right, respectively, or if there is one of "From" or "To", the picture is oriented with the "From" or "To" atom at the bottom.
-PRINT_LABELSIZE
Font size used to print labels. Default 10 (points).
-PRINT_LANGUAGE PS|EPS
Set output language to PostScript (PS) or Encapsulated PostScript (EPS). Default is PS.
-PRINT_LINEWIDTH THIN|NORMAL|WIDE|EXTRAWIDE
Regular Graphic line width (shows background, borders, structures). Default THIN.
-PRINT_MARGINS BLEED|MINIMAL|NARROW|NORMAL|WIDE|HUGE
Basic print margins. Default NORMAL.
-PRINT_MARGINS BLEED|MINIMAL|NARROW|NORMAL|WIDE|HUGE
Basic print margins. Default NORMAL.
-PRINT_NAMETAG tag
Tag to use for the datatype that appears as the depiction's name. Default is PCN ("local name").
-PRINT_ORIENT TALL|WIDE
Paper orientation for printing. Default TALL.
-PRINT_PAGELIMIT N
Limit number of pages of output to produce (0 means no limit). Default is 100.
-PRINT_PAPER paper
Choices are: USLETTER, USLEGAL, USTABLOID, A3, A4, A5, B5, COMPUTER, FANFOLD. Default USLETTER.
-PRINT_ROWS N
Number of rows in grid of depictions. Default 5.
-PRINT_SHADOW TRUE|FALSE
If TRUE, display drop shadows on white-background depictions. Default TRUE.
-PRINT_SMARTS smarts
A SMARTS string, if given, causes that substructure to be highlighted in every structure drawn. Default is "NONE" (no highlighting).
-PRINT_TITLE title
Title for printed output. Default NONE (no title).
-PRINT_TITLESIZE
Font size used to print title. Default 14.

Return Value

Returns status zero if all goes well, or status 1 if an error occurs.
