  Drawing and visualisation of molecular structures are some of the most common
tasks carried out in structural glycobiology, typically using various software.
In this perspective article, we outline developments in the computational tools
for the sketching, visualisation and modelling of glycans. The article also
provides details on the standard representation of glycans, and
glycoconjugates, which helps the communication of structure details within the
scientific community. We highlight the comparative analysis of the available
tools which could help researchers to perform various tasks related to
structure representation and model building of glycans. These tools can be
useful for glycobiologists or any researcher looking for a ready to use, simple
program for the sketching or building of glycans.
