    public class ConformerPlugin
    extends CalculatorPlugin
    Plugin class for conformer calculation. Data types:

    • "structures"
    • "count"
    • "hasvalidconformer"

    API usage example:

        // read input molecule
        MolImporter mi = new MolImporter("test.mol");
        Molecule mol = mi.read();
        mi.close();
    
        // create plugin
        ConformerPlugin plugin = new ConformerPlugin();
    
        // set target molecule
        plugin.setMolecule(mol);
        
        // set parameters for calculation
        plugin.setMaxNumberOfConformers(400);
        plugin.setTimelimit(900);
    
        // run the calculation
        plugin.run();
    
        // get results
        Molecule[] conformers = plugin.getConformers();
        int conformerCount = plugin.getConformerCount();
        Molecule m;
        for (int i = 0; i < conformerCount; ++i) {
            m = conformers[i];   // same as m = plugin.getConformer(i);
            // do something with molecule ...
        }
    
        // do something with the results ...

      • handlesMultiFragmentMolecules

        public boolean handlesMultiFragmentMolecules()

        Returns:
        true if the plugin handles multifragment molecules, false otherwise
      • setProgressMonitor
