ChemDoodle is a chemical structure environment with a main focus on 2D graphics and publishing to create media for your structures, reactions and spectra. ChemDoodle contains all of the features you would expect from software that costs thousands of dollars for a very reasonable $59.95. ChemDoodle is very well supported and being used in hundreds of institutions around the world.

If you are looking for a chemical sketcher or an alternative to your current chemical drawing application, there is no better choice than ChemDoodle. ChemDoodle works on all operating systems, has one of the largest feature sets in the industry, has the most customizable graphics, pastes scalable vector graphics into Microsoft Office, iWork and OpenOffice (among others), and can read and write all of our competitors’ formats.

VectorPaste is the first fully functional Java library for creating operating system specific vector images and their metadata and for saving and transferring that data into other applications. Image metafiles are scalable vector images, meaning that they remain crisp and clear at any size and resolution, as opposed to bitmap images (such as JPG, PNG and GIF) which lose their quality upon scaling. The supported protocols are the Macintosh PICT 2 vector format and Windows Enhanced Metafile (EMF).

Additionally, Java does not provide the functionality for handling image metafiles on the system clipboard, but VectorPaste provides a solution. VectorPaste allows you to transfer vector images from your Java application into almost any other application, including Microsoft Office, OpenOffice, iWork and Adobe Products (Photoshop, Illustrator, etc.) on Windows, Mac and Linux.

FortranFormat is an open source Java library for parsing input and formatting output using Fortran Format specification. FortranFormat is written by Kevin Theisen and adheres to the coding standards and style of Java 1.5, complete with JavaDoc commenting. FortranFormat is very useful for those wishing to port Fortran code to Java, especially in academic environments, and also for parsing and generating files that conform to strict column widths.
