Chemdoodle web components tricks #4: showing atom numbers with the altLabel property

Due to the release of version 4.5 of chemdoodle web compontents we have access to the altLabel property for atoms. This property will replace the atom label when set. This seriously simplifies the display of atom numbers in molecules, so the technique shown here supersedes my old post on the same subject (Chemdoodle web components tricks #2: showing atom numbers).

A canvas with atom numbers shown:

The javascript code for a canvas with atom numbers:

 
  var tutorial4_testmol2 = new ChemDoodle.ViewerCanvas('tutorial4_testmol2', 300, 300);
  tutorial4_testmol2.specs.atoms_useJMOLColors = true;
