1. A computer-implemented method for generating a library design for a library of materials, comprising:

  • providing a graphical user interface including a workspace for designing a library of materials;

    defining one or more sources and one or more destinations, each source being electronic data representing a chemical or mixture of chemicals to be used in preparing the library of materials and each destination being electronic data representing an arrangement of cells;

    displaying a visual representation of one or more of the one or more defined destinations in the workspace of the graphical user interface, each destination representation including a representation of one or more cells in the corresponding arrangement;

    receiving first user input defining a first mapping, the first mapping being electronic data defining a gradient distribution pattern for assigning a first chemical or mixture of chemicals represented by one of the one or more defined sources to a plurality of cells in the one or more defined destinations, the input specifying a minimum and a maximum amount of the first chemical or mixture of chemicals to be assigned to any of the plurality of cells and a gradient to be applied between the minimum and maximum amounts of the first chemical or mixture of chemicals across the plurality of cells;

    receiving second user input defining a second mapping, the second mapping being electronic data defining a second distribution pattern describing an amount or amounts of a second chemical or mixture of chemicals to be distributed to one or more selected cells in the one or more arrangements, the one or more selected cells including one or more of the plurality of cells;

    using the first mapping and the second mapping to determine amounts of the first chemical or mixture of chemicals and the second chemical or mixture of chemicals to be deposited in each of the one or more selected cells included in the plurality of cells; and

    modifying the visual representation of the one or more defined destinations to include a visual indication of the determined amounts of the first and second chemicals or mixtures of chemicals.
