History of MyChemise

April 2017: release of version 17/01.

Switch from Java applet to Java Web Start technology.

Extensions compared to previous version (13/03):

Lone electron pairs are automatically scetched more broadly.

There is a choice of predefined bond lengths available.

It is possible to overwrite the input of the text field automatically at the same position.

The alignment of the morphing frames can be changed.

The zoom factor can be setted individually during gif export.

The drawing parts are morphed, too.

December 2013: release of version 13/03.

Extensions compared to previous version (13/02):

Option to morph atoms with ovale areas.

By a popup menue it is possible to set up for each morphing area the

shape, transparency and background color (in addition to the main

background color).

It is possible to morph in front of a background image (saved with the .cse-files).

By another popup menue one make a selection to use the background image

of the reactant- or the productframe or to fade over.

For morphing with free rectangles it is now possible to use the

allocation table (grid-allocation), too.

A bug which occurs during resizing the morphing window was detected and corrected.

start 13/03

October 2013: release of version 13/02.

Extensions compared to previous version (13/01):

Option to save personal settings (menu item MyChemise).

A recent file list (menu item file).

Morphing areas can be made transparent (presentation-morphing-

-extras-options-transparency).

Morphing on colored background was improved (presentation-morphing-

-morphing-set up-background colored).

start 13/02

April 2013: release of version 13/01.

Extensions compared to previous version (12/02):

Paste .cse-files at the original position.

Adapt automatically same number of morphing areas in the reactant- and productframe.

Generate automatically double and triple bonds with 2 morphingareas and

optional C-atoms (shortcut) without.

Inverse morphing from product to reactant (simplifies the making of canonical forms).

Shift all morphingareas in one step.

Settings for morphing of images with different sizes in original size or as subimage.

start 13/01

April 2012: release of version 12/02.

Extensions compared to previous version (12/01):

Option for setting a new atom with bondclick (advantageous in case of short notation).

Possibility to mark the areas around atoms and bonds permanent.

Thanks to Thomas Engel for the chance to publish an article in the

Nachrichten aus der Chemie (issue April 2012: Moleküle in Bewegung).

February 2012: release of version 12/01.

Extensions compared to previous version (11/01):

Option for export of the morphing files as image files or GIF animations.

Observing the GIF animations with an internal viewer or on the MyChemise drawing surface.

More possibilities for changing the correlations of the morphing areas corner points:

  - turning points clockwise.

  - changing upper and lower points.

  - changing left and right points.

Possibility to copy morphing areas.

Moving the morphing areas with the arrow keys and turning them with the page-up/-down keys.

start 12/01

Acknowledgements:

The Java-classes AnimatedGifEncoder, GifDecoder, LZWEncoder and NeuQuant

were used for the export as GIF-animation.

Thanks to Björn Sommer for the tip with the export on GCC 2011.

May 2011: release of 1st version: 11/01.
