This is **Schrödinger, Inc's** 2D coordinate generation. It was formerly proprietary code, but is now released under the [BSD license](https://github.com/schrodinger/coordgenlibs/blob/master/LICENSE). The emphasis of these algorithms are on quality of 2D coordinates rather than speed of generation. The algorithm distinguishes itself from many others by doing well with both macrocycles and metal complexes. It also does extremely well on typical drug-like small molecules, and has been validated on millions of compounds.
Schrodinger intends to continue to contribute to this code as it still uses it inside its products, but will also be happy if others contribute pull-requests when there are improvements they would like to make. We'll also be happy to hear bug reports or feature requests from use of this code, though make no guarantee on our ability to process these.
## Documentation
Examples and documentation will be added/improved over time
## Templates
Coordgen uses templates for some macrocycle systems. The source for the templates is `templates.mae`. If
you're an end user of coordgen, you can add local templates in a file called
`user_templates.mae` in a directory specified by `CoordgenTemplates::setTemplateDir()`. If you want to
update the templates, add new templates to `templates.mae` and run `mol_generator.py` to generate the
source files.
## Usage example
Code for a sample executable is provided in the `example_dir` directory. Building the example executable is enabled by default, but can be disabled by means of the `COORDGEN_BUILD_EXAMPLE` option.
## Automated Testing
Automated testing is still primarily taking place inside Schrodinger's internal build system, although tests are incrementally being added to the `testing` directory. Building the tests is enabled by default, but can be disabled by means of the `COORDGEN_BUILD_TESTS` option.
Memory debugging is, by default, configured to use `valgrind`. It can be run on the tests by passing `-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug` to cmake, to enable building the debugging symbols, and then using `ctest -T memcheck` inside the build directory.
## Building from source
### Requirements
To build coordgen, you will need to have the following installed in your system:
- **CMake** version 3.2 or later.
- The development files for the **Boost libraries**. At least the **iostreams** and **regex** components are required. In case of also building the unit tests, the **filesystems** and **unit_test_framework** components will also be required.
- A **C++ compiler** supporting the C++11 standard.
- A compiled instance of the **maeparser library** or its source code.
In case **maeparser** is not available on your system, neither as a compiled library or as source code, if a working `git` executable and an internet connection are available, the builder can automatically download the source and build **maeparser** for you.
### Building
1. Create a build directory inside the the one that contains Coordgen, and move into it:
```bash
mkdir build
cd build
```
1. Run `cmake` to configure the build, passing the path to the directory where the sources are located (just `..` if you created `build` inside the sources directory). At this point, you should add any required flags to the `cmake` command. Check the 'Options' section in CMakeLists.txt to see which options are available.
```bash
cmake .. -Dmaeparser_DIR=/home/schrodinger/maeparser_install -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/schrodinger/coordgen_install`
```
A few notes on the maeparser dependency:
- CMake will, by default, search your system's default library paths for the maeparser library. If a `CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX` was specified to Coordgen, CMake will also search for maeparser there.
- If you already built and installed maeparser using the `CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX` to set the installation path, you should pass the exact same path to Coordgen with `maeparser_DIR`.
- If CMake cannot find a compiled library for maeparser, it will attempt to download the source code from GitHub and build it. The release to be downloaded if the library is not found can be set using the `-DMAEPARSER_VERSION` flag. The sources will be stored in a directory named like `maeparser-{MAEPARSER_VERSION}` under the coordgen sources.
- If `maeparser_DIR` was passed to CMake, and the library was not found, CMake will **NOT** download the sources from GitHub (since we expected to find a compiled library).
- If a copy of maeparser's source is found under the proper path, it be used, instead of being downloaded again.
- If you want to use Coordgen in a CMake project that also depends on maeparser, set up the maeparser first, as Coordgen will be able to find and use it, without searching for further libraries or compiling it again from the source code.
1. Build and install:
```bash
make -j install
```
