Available widgets are: - GcpFontSel: a font selector. - GcuPeriodic: a periodic table of the elements. - GcuComboPeriodic: a combo box with a dropdown periodic table widget. - GcrCrystalViewer: a crystal structure viewer. - GcuChem3DViewer: a 3D molecular structure viewer. - GcuSpectrumViewer: a spectrum viewer. The C++ classes are grouped in the gcu, gcugtk, gccv, gcr, and gcp namespaces. A C interface exists to use some (not so many) of the functionalities offered in these classes; the corresponding documentation is available in the chemistry.h file. */ #ifndef GCU_CHEMISTRY_H #define GCU_CHEMISTRY_H /** \file * C interface to the chemistry library.
