Hi,

Can somebody explain to me what the "OBAtom::GetType()" method returns?
I don't understand what OpenBabel intends to do here.

For example, when I have a file in the Tripos mol2 format (see fragment
below), the atoms read
have the type "C.3" for the first and the last atom, and "C.2" for the
atoms 2-9. (column 6 below)

When I read the mol2-file into an OBMol, then, when I ask for the type
then the result is always "C3", for all 10 atoms.
When I set the type to e.g. "foo", then I get an error message that the
type "foo" is not valid. Fair enough,
but is there a way that I can set the type (in the mol2 file) to any
string I like, and then get the same string back
when I ask fot the OBAtomM::GetType()?


@<TRIPOS>ATOM
      1 C1        3.690   2.630   2.480    C.3   0 aap1 0.12
      2 C2        4.940   1.840   2.810    C.2   0 aap2 1.23
      3 C3        6.130   2.710   2.420    C.2   0 aap3 1.23
      4 C4        7.420   1.980   2.740    C.2   0 aap4 1.23
      5 C5        8.590   2.860   2.340    C.2   0 aap5 1.23
      6 C6        9.890   2.140   2.660    C.2   0 aap6 1.23
      7 C7       11.060   3.030   2.250    C.2   0 aap7 1.23
      8 C8       12.320   2.270   2.580    C.2   0 aap8 1.23
      9 C9       13.550   3.060   2.180    C.2   0 aap9 1.23
     10 C10      14.690   2.130   2.510    C.3   0 aap0 0.34


Kind Regards,
