XyMTeX

Corticosterone as rendered by XyMTeX

XyMTeX or X^ΥMTeX is an open source macro package for TeX which renders high-quality chemical structure diagrams. Molecules are defined by TeX markup, e.g. the following code produces the image for corticosterone at right.

\documentclass{letter}
\usepackage{epic,carom}
\pagestyle{empty}
\begin{document}
\begin{picture}(1000,500)
   \put(0,0){\steroid[d]{3D==O;{{10}}==\lmoiety{H$_{3}$C};{{13}}==\lmoiety{H$_{3}$C};{{11}}==HO}}
   \put(684,606){\sixunitv{}{2D==O;1==OH}{cdef}}
\end{picture}
\end{document}
