6.3 Setting Display Properties for Particular Atom(s) or Bond(s)

There are several methods for setting the display properties of a particular atom, bond, molecule, or set of atoms:

Select the atoms whose display properties you wish to change (see Section 2.6.2). Right-click in the display-area background, select the appropriate option from the pull-down menu (Styles, Colours, Labels, Show/Hide) and then select the desired display-property setting from the next menu.

Select the atoms whose display properties you wish to change (see Section 2.6.2). Hit Display in the top-level menu, select the appropriate option from the pull-down menu (Styles, Colours, Labels, Show/Hide) and then hit Atoms... to obtain a dialogue box which you can use to specify the required settings (see Section 6.5.1).

With no atoms selected, hit Display in the top-level menu, select the appropriate option from the pull-down menu (Styles, Colours, Labels, Show/Hide) and then hit Atoms... or Selected atoms... This opens a dialogue box which you can use to (a) specify the desired settings, and then (b) select the atoms or molecule to which those settings are to be applied (see Section 6.5.1).

Right-click on an individual atom or bond, select the appropriate option from the pull-down menu (Styles, Colours, Labels, Show/Hide) and then select the desired display-property setting from the next menu. The chosen setting will be applied to the atom or bond on which you clicked.
