XyMTeX

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

ΧΥΜΤΕΧ, written XyMTeX in plain text, is a macro package for TeX which renders high-quality chemical structure diagrams. Using the typesetting system, the name is styled as \mathsf{X\!\!^{{}_{{}^{\displaystyle \Upsilon}}} \!\!\!\!\!\!\;\; M \!\!\!\!\;\; T\!_{\displaystyle E} \! X}. It was originally written by 藤田 眞作 (FUJITA, Shinsaku). Molecules are defined by TeX markup.
