Our central design philosophy is to produce beans that will understand and deal directly with Daylight objects such as a SMILES string. To this end we are wrapping Daylight functionality around commonly available stable widgets such as 2Dgraphs, tree visualization widgets etc. Wherever possible we will also make them easily serializable and deserializable so as to permit the saving and reconstruction of a widget's state. This will also make them easily transportable. Some of the other widgets on the cards are:

• A Tree visualization widget for a TDT. An alpha release of this is on display at the demos. This structure enable visualization of a large number of hits say from a Merlin search as a set of expandable structure icons in a tree format. The advantage here is that any of the structures can be expanded to visualize more information on it. Over intranets the full release will be modifiable to pass full information on a structure only at the time it is expanded, hence greatly reducing the network bandwidth requirements.
• A Spreadsheet widget
• A Depict widget that can depict a SMILES string according to user-defined or corporate styles.
• Standard hyperlinked 2D-graphing and pie-charting widgets morphed to understand Daylight's objects as part of Java Tools.
• Sorting widgets to sort and analyse Daylight query results
• Analytical widgets such as Sliders/Gauges that can permit dynamic, on-the-fly analysis and visualization
