I prefer the symmetrical non-ring double bond, even for alkenes. The asymmetric double bond in rings is a convention,presumably so that there are regular hexagons, etc., aiding visual interpretation. The asymmetric alkenes get in the way for me - I am thinking, "Why is the double bond on that side?". svgformat produces bond widths which are different for single and multiple molecules; I quite like the variety. Both are lighter than your prosal. Of the three I just about prefer the two thinnest. It's good that you have improved the line joins. There is a problem with hash bonds, that needs correcting: C(=O)N(O)CC(CCCCC)C(=O)N[C@H](C(C)(C)C)C(=O)N(C)C Chris ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Benefiting from Server Virtualization: Beyond Initial Workload Consolidation -- Increasing the use of server virtualization is a top priority.Virtualization can reduce costs, simplify management, and improve application availability and disaster protection.
