JMathTeX

The JMathTeX library provides a set of Java classes for displaying (complex) mathematical formulas as part of a Java application. Some use cases are:

Displaying text with embedded formulas (in an editor pane, a JavaHelp page, ...)
Make a combo box which provides the user with a choice between various formulas.
Have a slider with ticks that display their values not as decimal numbers, but as exact values, e.g., fractions, square roots or any combination of these.
Display the formula together with the graph of a function.

The library uses the typesetting algorithms of the well-known TeX and LaTeX systems and therefore displays formulas in a very professional looking way. Formulas are Java-objects that can be built from scratch (by combining smaller formulas in several ways) and from LaTeX strings. There is also limited support for MathML.

Note: JMathTeX is not a word processor, a typesetting system or a Java version of LaTeX. It is a Java library for use in your own programs.

Dependencies

All classes are targeted to Java 5.0.

The library uses JDOM 1.0 which is needed both at run time and when building JMathTeX from the source distribution.

Developers

Current development: Kris Coolsaet, Nico Van Cleemput
