I’m very excited to tell you MX-GWT’s prototype for molecule image rendering is available now. We’ve many many programes can render MOL or SDF files into image already, why I’m working on another one? The key difference is, this one can work in all major web browsers without plugins needed. NO Applet, NO Flash, NO SilverLight!
Though it’s a very early stage prototype, I think you can see future molecule editor could be loaded into browsers without plugins.
Here is the demo page.
