C2 would work best for me. (And I've no problem if it's not perfectly
aligned & the bond goes to the middle of 'C' instead of the middle of
'C2'.) Related questions:

- if I read the molecule from (e.g.) SDF, will the numbers match atom
order in the input? I.e. rdkit won't reorder the atoms, correct?

- rdkit seems to be numbering atoms from 0, can I renumber them before
drawing?

I forgot to mention I tried noCarbonSymbols, too.

Attached CID_5950_OB.svg was generated by OpenBabel. I'm not too happy
with OB's indexes in superscript, I'd much prefer "O2" to O-squared, but
it has all Hs and atom labels drawn.

c.f. CID_5950_1.svg generated by

mol = rdkit.Chem.SupplierFromFilename("CID_5950.sdf").next()
rdkit.Chem.FindMolChiralCenters(mol)
rdkit.Chem.AddHs(mol)
rdkit.Chem.Draw.MolToFile(mol,"CID_5950_1.sdf",noCarbonSymbols=False)

Andd with

rdkit.Chem.Draw.MolToFile(mol,"CID_5950_2.sdf",noCarbonSymbols=False,includeAtomNumbers=True)

I get the attached CID_5950_2.sdf -- the numbering seems to match OB's
except theirs starts with 1, but of course it doesn't have hydrogens so
I can't tell about those.

Thanks
