Re: [Cdk-devel] New SDG/Layout API

[John M <joh...@gm...>]

Since the SDG currently has state the only way I can see would be
synchronisation which doesn't solve the problem (only one molecule is laid
out at once) or an API change.

Here's the current flow

*SDG sdg = new SDG();*
*sdg.setMolecule(mol); // cloned by default*
*sdg.generate();  *
*mol = sdg.getMolecule();*


IMO Best way to make something thread safe is immutability and a single
entry/exit point, hence.

*SDG sdg = new **SDG();*
*sdg.generate(mol);*

The *Layout* suggestion is for the ​interface.
