\( \require{mhchem} \)
ΧyMTeΧ is a macro package for TeX which renders high-quality chemical structure diagrams. Using the typesetting system, the name is styled as XϒMTeX. It was originally written by Shinsaku Fujita (藤田眞作, Fujita Shinsaku). Molecules are defined by TeX markup.
Example
The following code produces the image for corticosterone below.
\documentclass{letter}
\usepackage{epic,carom}
\pagestyle{empty}
\begin{document}
\begin{picture}(1000,500)
\put(0,0){\steroid[d]{3D==O;{{10}}==\lmoiety{H$_{3}$C};{{13}}==\lmoiety{H$_{3}$C};{{11}}==HO}}
\put(684,606){\sixunitv{}{2D==O;1==OH}{cdef}}
\end{picture}
\end{document}
