You can now choose which visualization mode you would like to use by selecting it in the View menu. Each view has its own small help text that appears along the right hand side of the screen. To show or hide the help text you can use the small arrows located in the vertical bar to the left of the text.

structureManager-configOptions
The left side of the screen contains the structure manager at the top, and the configuration options for each view at the bottom. Apart from the statistics and dot plot views in which you can select as many structures in the same group as you would like, each other view imposes a limit of two selections. To change the colour of the hydrogen bonds in displayed structures, click on the small coloured square to the left of the structure name.
