Just to add, if you wish to align two depictions it's possible via the obabel 
executable:

$ obabel tmp.smi -s "[#6]Cl blue" -O tmp.svg --align "[#6]Cl"

Unfortunately, the align operation does not appear to work if not outputting to 
an image:

$ obabel tmp.smi -O tmp.sdf  --align "[#6]Cl"
==============================
*** Open Babel Error  in OpenBabel::OBAlign::Align
  Cannot align the reference and target as they are of different size
1 molecule converted

...so you would have to do this programmatically via the API.

Subject: Re: [Open Babel] obfit question

Am I incorrectly running obfit, or am I misinterpreting what obfit does? Thanks 
for any help!

You're mis-interpreting what obfit does. It operates in 3D coordinates. So what 
you're doing is okay - but if you then generate a PNG, you've thrown away the 
3D coordinates.

If you want to see if obfit is operating correctly, open the resulting file in 
PyMol or Avogadro or some similar 3D viewer.

If you want to highlight a SMARTS pattern in a depiction, you want something 
different:

Hope that helps,
