How to work with structure display parameters to hide R-group definitions

By default, MarvinSketch displays all the R-group definitions that belong to a scaffold. Sometimes it's very practical to hide the R-group definitions because they take up too much place from the display and we would like to emphasize the scaffold.

The result of switching off the R-group definitions can be seen on the picture below:

The code below is taken from SketchParams.java, where the R-group definitions are hidden using the setParams method of the MSketchPane class.

    msketchPane.setParams(ParameterConstants.R_GROUPS_VISIBLE+"=false");
