RE: How to produce a gif file from mol or mol2 for chemical structures



Dear Shaomeng,
 If you are using (or can use) a Windows system, simply open the mol file in
 any viewing program which you may already have.  Rotate or do anything else
 to get to structure to look as you would like in the GIF and press "Print
 Screen" on the keyboard.  This saves a "snapshot" of the entire
 screen to
 the clipboard, which can then be pasted in Paint or any other image program
 and saved as a gif.
