Ogham is designed to artfully render 2D Kekule drawings from 3D structures or connectivity information. Ogham is easy to work with, offering a variety of display controls such as color, size, optional use of superatoms, or style of representation for aromatic and dative bonds. More importantly Ogham provides a consistent and specifiable orientation of core substructures, making it easy to spot common and alternate moieties in a series of compounds. LexiChem provides efficient conversion from chemical names into chemical structures and vice versa. Compounds can be named in a number of styles including fully systematic, preferred IUPAC 2005, acceptable common-usage IUPAC, CAS naming conventions, and non-IUPAC traditional common names. Both LexiChem and Ogham are available either as standalone applications or as C++ toolkits for software development purposes. Both programs, like all OpenEye software, are available at no charge for non-commercial purposes. For further information, please visit www.eyesopen.com or contact business-.at.-eyesopen.com.
