TO INSTALL:
1. Unpack the .zip file you download. You should obtain a folder called chemdoodle.
2. Copy the chemdoodle folder (and all its contents) to the filter folder
of your Moodle 2.3+ installation i.e. alongside the folders for other filters.
3. Activate the filter in Moodle's filter admin screen.
USAGE:
To add a spectra to your course simply create a link to a .jdx file. The text of
the link will be replaced by a ChemDoodle spectra canvas.
1) Type some text in your content.
2) Highlight the text with your mouse.
3) Click the "Insert/Edit Link" icon.
4) Click the "Browse" icon.
5) Either upload your own by clicking "Upload your own" or choose from hundreds in
spectra database (NMR Spectra, IR_Spectra or MS_Spectra folders).
There are three possible spectra configurations possible;
1) Perspective Canvas - With a ChemDoodle Perspective canvas you can zoom in and
adjust the scale of the spectrum. This is the default setting.
2) Seeker canvas - The Seeker canvas allows the user to obtain or see the
coordinates of points on the spectrum. To use the Seeker canvas add ?c=2 at
the end of the URL when you create the link or by editing the link.
3) Linked Perspective and Seeker Canvas - This option provides two linked spectrum.
To use both Perspective and Seeker, add ?c=3 to the link url.
Title control
You can also control the title. Adding ?c=2&title=none to the end of the link URL
will setup a Seeker canvas with a blank title. This is useful when including
spectrum in quiz questions. Adding ?title=NEW TITLE will override the existing
title found in the jdx file. The default is to use the title from the jdx file.
Flipping the X-axis
Adding ?c=1&flipaxis=false to the end of the link URL will create a perspective
canvas without a flipped axis (i.e. the scale will increase from left to right).
The default setting is true (i.e. the x-axis is flipped)
x-axis max and min
Adding ?minx=4&maxx=6 will adjust the initial x-axis max and min scale of the spectrum.
Integration Line
The integration line can be turned off by adding &int=off at end of URL. By default
the integration is turned on.
The following is an examples illustrate the three possible ChemDoodle canvas options.
