Daylight v4.9 Release Date: 1 February 2008 Namexvmerlin - Merlin client program using XView windows interfaceUnix Synopsisxvmerlin [options] [database@server ...]DescriptionThe Merlin program is designed to allow an end-user to rapidly and flexibly explore data in Thor chemical information databases. Daylight Version 4 software includes the program `xvmerlin' which is an XView implementation of Merlin for systems using MIT X-Windows displays.This man(1) page gives information relevant to invoking the xvmerlin program. Once xvmerlin is running, use the "Help" button to view the Daylight Help Widget's "merlin" topic. It gives detailed information about the xvmerlin program. The Merlin facility is organized in two parts: a "server" program providing a merlin service (merlinserver) and a "client" program providing a user interface (e.g. xvmerlin). The server has access to databases, and provides all searching and database-access capabilities. The Merlin server(s) are normally started when the machine is booted and left running in the background. Assuming that a Merlin server is running and available, its presence should be completely transparent to the user. The following things are required before running xvmerlin: a. you are working with an X-Windows displayxvmerlin has the ability to save its current state (open databases, columns, and column locations). When you use the "Quit" item of the "File" menu, one of the choices is "Yes, save state then quit". The state is saved as an option file, by default the file $HOME/.dy_merlinprofile.opt (controlled by option MERLIN_PROFILE, described below). To restore the state, your Daylight-options file ($HOME/dy_profile.opt) should contain the following line: #include $HOME/.dy_merlinprofile.optThe shell script "xvmerlin4d" is a convenience program for users of SGI's X Windows system using the 4dwm display. It invokes xvmerlin(1) with several important options that are useful or required on SGI systems. See xvmerlin4d(1). ExamplesStart xvmerlin, naming two other hosts where Merlin servers are running:xvmerlin -merlin_server_list \\xvmerlin can be invoked with one or more databases. The syntax for database names is described in database(5). xvmerlin wdi95@hostSuppose you quit xvmerlin via the "Yes, save state then quit" button. You can edit $HOME/dy_profile.dat as described above, or you can use the saved state directly like this: xvmerlin -MERLIN_PROFILE $HOME/dy_merlinprofile.optStart xvmerlin and open the world drug index (WDI) database: xvmerlin wdi95Any option (see OPTIONS, below) can be specified in your personal options file, usually $HOME/dy_profile.opt, or on the command line, or can be set in your environment, prefixed with "DY_". For example, the following three are equivalent (these are csh(1) examples): in $HOME/dy_profile.opt: OptionsThe xvmerlin application has a large number of configurable features; there is a correspondingly large number of options.
GENERAL XVMERLIN OPTIONS:
-DEPICT_HIDE_CHI_H TRUE|FALSE Do not show implicit chiral hydrogens when not necessary for illustration of stereochemistry. Default FALSE.-DEPICT_HLEN_PCT [0.67 - 1.00] Scalar value for shortening the length of bonds to hydrogen. The allowed range is 0.67 (67%) to 1.00 (100%). Default 1.00.-DEPICT_OLD_STYLE TRUE|FALSE Use pre-v4.83 bond style renditions. Default FALSE.-DEPICT_SUPPRESS_LABELS TRUE|FALSE Suppress atom labelling for chains. Default TRUE.-FULLSCREENDEBUG TRUE|FALSE There is a bug caused by an interaction between XView and SGI's X-Window system using the 4dwm window manager -- pressing an XView button causes the window manager to "lock up" permanently. This option, which was originally meant to be used by developers during program debugging, prevents this "lock up". Default: automatically set for different machines (see dy_sysprofile.opt).-MERLIN_ADJUST_ACTION action -MERLIN_SELECT_ACTION action Initial values for the "adjust" (middle) and "select" (right) mouse buttons. Choices are:-MERLIN_ALTERNATE_THORBASE Names alternate Thor database for xvmerlin's "Show alternate datatree" button. No default.-MERLIN_COLS_MAXINIT N Maximum number of columns on startup. Default is 4.-MERLIN_DEPICT_MAXSMI N Maximum length of SMILES to depict in scrolling region (0 = no limit). Any SMILES longer than this number is shown as text. Default 80.-MERLIN_DEPICT_2D_COORDS TRUE|FALSE Preference of whether to show 2D coordinates graphically or textually. The SMILES used for the depiction depends on TDT content. Isomeric SMILES is used if 2D coordinates are within its TDT subtree, otherwise the root SMILES is used. Default: FALSE (don't depict 2D coordinates). Side Effect: If TRUE, the cell containing the SMILES will be shown with the 2D coordinates. In other words, the SMILES and 2D cells will appear identical.-MERLIN_DEPICT_2D_SMILES TRUE|FALSE Preference of whether to show SMILES using 2D coordinates. The SMILES cell affected by this option depends on TDT content. Isomeric SMILES is affected if 2D coordinates are within its TDT subtree, otherwise the root SMILES is affected. Default: FALSE (don't show SMILES using 2D coordinates).-MERLIN_DISPLAY_SMILES DEPICTION|TEXT Whether to display SMILES and Isomeric SMILES columns as pictures or text. Default is DEPICTION.-MERLIN_DTMENU_COLUMNS N Number of columns in datatype menu (0 means "use XView default").

Default R = 0.50.-MERLIN_VERBOSE_MESSAGES TRUE|FALSE If TRUE, show error, notes and warning messages as soon as they are available. If FALSE, the "Messages" button is un-greyed (made active) when messages are available, but the Message Widget doesn't pop-up until the "Messages" button is pushed. Default TRUE.-MERLIN_WHOABUDDY_SIZE N Ask "OK?" if hitlist-save bigger than this. Default N = 10000.-MERLIN_ZOOMFRAME_FONT Name of default font to use for xvmerlin's "zoom frame". (The "zoom frame" is the window created by "Show Text..." and "Show Depiction" menu items.)

Note that each group of 8 options is summarized by the [1-8] notation, i.e. MERLIN_PAGE1_POOL, MERLIN_PAGE2_POOL, ..., MERLIN_PAGE8_POOL are all represented as MERLIN_PAGE[1-8]_POOL. -MERLIN_PROFILE Names an options file for xvmerlin to read that contains a saved state (the options listed below). Default: $HOME/.dy_merlinprofile.opt-MERLIN_RESTORE_CONTEXT -MERLIN_RESTORE_PASSWORD These two options provide security for a saved context. When the context is saved, the user is asked to provide a restoration password. All passwords that were required to create the original context (the servers' and databases' passwords) are encrypted using this context-restoration password. When the context is restored, the databases can be re-opened without the user having to re-enter each password. And because the passwords are encrypted, they are never stored as clear-text anywhere.-MERLIN_PAGE[1-8]_POOL The names of the databases to be re-opened when the context is restored.-MERLIN_PAGE[1-8]_POOLPW Passwords for the databases. Note that these are encrypted, and require the context-restoration password to be useful.
