Abstract:
A method for displaying a reaction path diagram of compound by use of an apparatus comprising input means, display means, and storage means storing at least reaction path information about compounds in the form of a reaction path information file, said displaying method of reaction path diagram of compound comprising;a step of searching said reaction path information file, based on data accepted by said input means, to prepare a reaction path diagram having a first predetermined number of reaction steps, and displaying said reaction path diagram on said display means,a step of extracting every end compound that is located at the end of the diagram, from compounds constituting the reaction path diagram displayed on said displaying means, searching said reaction path information file to extract an end compound accompanied by an undisplayed, adjacent reaction that is an adjacent reaction thereto and is not displayed on said display means, from said every end compound, and displaying on said display means a guide mark corresponding to the undisplayed, adjacent reaction in relation to the end compound accompanied by the undisplayed, adjacent reaction, anda step of, when said guide mark is selected, searching said reaction path information file for an undisplayed compound that makes the undisplayed, adjacent reaction indicated by the selected guide mark and is not displayed on said display means, and scrolling the reaction path diagram displayed on said display means so as to display said undisplayed compound on said display means.
