Example 1.2 - Setting colors

MarvinSketch Example 1.2

You can use applet parameters to specify the applet and molecule background colors. Below is an example where both are set to white.

<script LANGUAGE="JavaScript1.1" SRC="../../marvin.js"></script>
<script LANGUAGE="JavaScript1.1">
<!--
msketch_begin("../..", 460, 380);
msketch_param("background", "#ffffff");
msketch_param("molbg", "#ffffff");
msketch_end();
//-->
</script>

Atoms and bonds drawn on the canvas are shown in the CPK color scheme by default, but by using the colorScheme parameter, you can disable coloration.

<script LANGUAGE="JavaScript1.1">
<!--
msketch_begin("../..", 460, 380);
msketch_param("background", "#666699");
msketch_param("molbg", "#000000");
msketch_param("colorScheme", "mono");
msketch_end();
//-->
</script>

Note that we only set the molecule background. The white foreground was set automatically by the program.

You can change the look of the applet not just by changing colors but also by rearranging buttons.
