Coupled Hartree-Fock theory is used to compute and map the current density induced in planar hydrocarbons by an external magnetic field. Results of useful accuracy can be obtained with modest (6-31G**) basis sets by employing a continuous gauge transformation. Maps are presented and discussed for benzene, naphthalene, anthracene, tetracene, pentacene, heptacene, and biphenylene.
