TLC Spot Object

CDXML Name:tlcspot
CDX Constant Name:kCDXObj_TLCSpot
CDX Constant Value:0x8025
Contained by objects:kCDXObj_TLCLane
First written/read in:ChemDraw 8.0

Description:

TLC Lane objects technically have no required properties or objects, but non-zero values for kCDXProp_Height and kCDXProp_Width would probably be helpful.

The kCDXProp_Height, kCDXProp_Width, and kCDXProp_TLC_Tail distances refer to the unrotated reference frame. If the spot's parent TLC Plate is rotated 90°, the Height value will actuall refer to a horizontal distance, and so on.

Spots are displayed as modified ellipsoids. If Height == Width and Tail == 0, then the spot is circular. With Height != Width and Tail == 0, the spot is elliptical. If the Tail value is non-zero, the top half of the spot is drawn as a semiellipse with the height = Height and width = Width, and the bottom half of the spot is draw as a second semiellipse with height = (Height + 2 * Tail) and width = Width.

Subobjects:
