Description

Allocates a new depiction object for the given molecule or reaction. All (x, y) coordinates of the new depiction are set to 0. The isomeric, compressed, and schematic attributes are initialized to FALSE.

Note that there is no theoretical limit to the number of depictions which may be created for a single molecule or reaction.

Each depiction has 'object' as its base object (see dt_base(3)). If the base object is deallocated or modified, the depiction object will automatically be deallocated and its handle will be revoked.
