Check out my revision r4534 at http://openbabel.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/openbabel/openbabel/trunk/src/mcdlutil.cpp?view=log
"mcdlutil.cpp: Speed up structure layout in the general case, by carrying out systematic search on the inner N=10 rotbonds, and greedily searching the remainder. (The original code carried out systematic search on the 'first' N=20 rotbonds leaving the others unchanged.)" Naturally, for a very large number of rotbonds, the code will hit a wall. A better strategy might be to set a limit on the greedy search after an initial full greedy search. Any suggestions for improvements, or better still patches, would be appreciated. - Noel On 17 January 2012 17:41, Róbert Kiss <rk...@mcule.com> wrote: > Dear Developers, > > Is there any documentation available on the --gen2D option of babel? > It would be great to know more about how it works.
