Hello all, I installed Open Babel via conda on my Linux workstation and have been enjoying what it can do. I do have a question regarding png files however:
I was please to find that the following command: obabel -:"NC(SC)=N" -o png -O output.png will create a nice png file of the provided SMILES string. >From looking at the available formats when typing obabel -L formats it would appear that png is an acceptable -input- format and that SMILES would be an acceptable -output- format. However, when I type: obabel output.png -i png -o smi -O output.smi Open Babel will tell me that it converted 1 molecule, but output.smi will be a file with 0 bytes. Can Open Babel actually extract SMILES information from provided png files or should I go investigate programs like osra or CLiDE instead?
