Explanation
|
Maximum amount of memory available to Sirius
|
Sets the maximum amount of system memory that can be used by Sirius. The default is 128 MB, but if your
system has a large RAM, you may increase this value up to 70% of the total (in order not to interfere with the
operating system and cause unnecessary swapping). Increased memory allocation allows for much larger
structures to be displayed and manipulated.
|
Mouse responsiveness
|
Sets the default mouse responsiveness for the Structure Viewer. The higher the value in the slider, the greater structure movement
will be in response to a mouse motion.
|
Undo options
|
Allows the user to enable/disable the undo function and set the number of undo levels.
Note: undo function is based on saving states of
the display before each change. Therefore, on systems with a low-performance
processor or when working with very large structures, it make take
a little longer for coloring, rendering or other changes. If that
occurs, it is recommended to disable the undo function (unless its
presense is necessary). |
Color of loaded structures
|
When the default is selected, all newly loaded structures are colored by element. Alternatively, a sequential coloring
scheme can be chosen. In this case, each loaded structure is displayed in a solid color. This can be useful when loading
multiple structures or individual models from NMR structure or SDF files.
|
Application look and feel
|
Users can use this option to set application look and feel to either the Sirius default or to the OS-specific
appearance. In some cases the latter may be preferred, since it sometimes produces better dialog and menu layouts.
