Hi.

Thanks a lot for the response and for the data example. I've gone
through the application, read the manual and also took a look at
piccolo(which I think I'll use for my next Software Design assignment).
I find the views very interesting. I particularly liked how after
zooming in close enough the structures become visible both in the
dendrogram and scaffold tree and I also think the detailed view in table
is very useful.
I'm really excited that I could learn things that are not in my area of
study this summer(for example I had no idea about SMILES) so what I'd
like to know, of course, is how I can improve my chances of being
accepted for your project.

Thank you,
Vlad.

    Hi Vlad,

    thanks for your interest in Scaffold Hunter. I have uploaded a
    sample dataset:
    https://sourceforge.net/projects/scaffoldhunter/files/datasets/

    I will add a more detailed description of the dataset and how to
    import it
    later. However, starting Scaffold Hunter and importing the SDF file is
    straight-forward and allows you to find out more about the
    application and the
    different views it currently supports.

    Having a look at Piccolo is a good start, piccolo2d.org
    <http://piccolo2d.org> provides a detailed
    tutorial and the library comes with some nice code examples.

    I'm looking forward to hearing from you.


    Regards
    Nils
