Olex2: a comprehensive molecular graphics tool for small-molecule structures

Olex 2 is a powerful molecular graphics tool. As can be expected from any molecular viewer, Olex 2 provides fully customisable, powerful molecular graphics. Olex 2 can interact seamlessly and intelligently with the refinement program ShelXL, setting it apart from most other programs of its kind. The highly sophisticated refinement tools provided by ShelXL can be accessed and addressed intuitively, making building complicated structure models very easy, even for the novice user. The User Interface to Olex 2 has a high degree of redundancy: the program can be driven from the command line only (using familiar ShelXP syntax), the context menus (right-click), as well as the highly adaptable (and customisable) Graphics User Interface. This high degree of flexibility allows the program to be accessible to all levels of user experience.
