Running the Application

You can run Ego with the following command:

java -jar ego.jar

Interface

The interface is simple and straightforward. You can see the file tree on the left, and the image on the right:

Soon after pressing the “Recognize” button, you get the re-rendered image with the recognized molecule:

“Save molecule” button brings up a dialog to save the resulting molfile.

“Open sketcher” button opens the resulting molfile in MarvinSketch application, if it is installed on your machine. Ego may ask you to specify the path to MarkinSketch.jar file in your filesystem.

You can also see the application log to know what happened and how much time it has taken:
