A device comprising a display, a user interface configured to receive gesture input, and a processor is provided. The device is configured to electronically detect, with the user interface, at least one gesture input from the user in an approximately circular motion that traces a substantially closed curve without corners about a point on the user interface. The device is configured to display, on a portion of the display, a polygonal shaped chemical structure symbol representing a polygonal ring of carbon atoms in response to the detecting, the polygonal ring having a set number of vertices representing a set number of carbon atoms. A non-transient computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon that cause a device comprising a display, a user interface configured to receive gesture input, and a processor to perform a method is also provided.

Systems and methods of editing a polygonal-shaped chemical structure having a set number of vertices

Gestures for creating chemical structure symbols representing rings of carbon atoms on a touch screen device include circular motions that cause a touch screen enabled device to display symbols representing chemical structures or related information in response to the gestures.

Systems and methods of editing a chemical structure on a touch-screen

A computer implemented molecular modeler displays information concerning structural validity to the user. The display of information may be updated substantially continuously while the user modifies the molecular model. The display of information may comprise a color coded indicator and/or text associated with the atoms of the molecular model.
