org.openscience.cdk.structgen.stochastic.PartialFilledStructureMerger

public class PartialFilledStructureMerger
extends Object

Randomly generates a single, connected, correctly bonded structure from a number of fragments.

Assign hydrogen counts to each heavy atom. The hydrogens should not be in the atom pool but should be assigned implicitly to the heavy atoms in order to reduce computational cost.
