The most important new feature making its debut in ChemDoodle 2 is the ability to seamlessly paste and insert scalable vector graphics into your favorite applications. Vector graphics are images that retain their crisp and clear quality regardless of their dimensions or resolution. We must stress the importance of such a feat, as no other Java application can handle image metadata formats on the system clipboard, but iChemLabs has created a library from scratch for implementing the creation and insertion of vector graphic image metadata into any applications on Windows, Mac and Linux, including Microsoft Office, OpenOffice, iWork and Adobe Products.
