Figure 7.3: Adding bonds to a label
You can determine the orientation of the resulting bond by dragging. If you click to add a bond, there are several pref-
erential orientations for the resulting bond as outlined below.
Adding from the end of an atom label creates bonds that are preferentially horizontal.
Adding from the middle of an atom label creates bonds that are preferentially vertical.
