Hi everyone,

I'm evaluating my fragment-based coordinate generation method.
I want to measure the error of bond lengths and angles, but I have a
problem in getting corresponding ones from two molecules.

What I want to do is like this:

    // mol1: ground truth loaded from SDF
    // mol2: predicted molecule structure loaded from SDF
    OBMol mol1, mol2;

    // Display the length of each bond
    for (int idx = 0; idx < mol1.NumBonds(); ++idx) {
      OBBond *bond1 = mol1.GetBond(idx);
      OBBond *bond2 = mol2.GetBond(idx);

      // these assertion fails
      assert(bond1->GetBeginAtom()->GetAtomicNum()
               == bond2->GetBeginAtom()->GetAtomicNum());
      assert(bond1->GetEndAtom()->GetAtomicNum()
               == bond2->GetEndAtom()->GetAtomicNum());

      cout << bond1->GetLength() << "," << bond2->GetLength() << endl;
    }

The problem is that the bonds are not ordered properly.
When I execute the code above, the assertions fail.
So n-th bond in mol1 was different from n-th bond in mol2.
I also have a similar problem for angles.

If I can get something like "canonical order of bonds", I can compare
the length of each bond correctly.
However, I don't know how to do it.

Does anyone have a good idea to get corresponding bonds and angles?

Thanks,
Naruki
