Insert text and proper arrows

Open pepev-nrt opened this issue 1 month ago • 4 comments

Hi, a chemistry PhD student here.

Would it be possible to implement the addition of text in the program? I think that the current title tag is enough for simple molecules but not sufficient to draw complete reactions. In the draws we use to write papers is necessary to add text everywhere. Also, the reaction arrows are weird as they are now, maybe the ability to place them independently and make them a standalone object? With text it would be possible to add things like a molecule and then '+ CO2' with an arrow.

Here I show a example of how that addition would make JChemPaint to be able to create reactions like the ones that we find in day to day papers.
