Math equations in QTF [message #20251]

Hello all

I would like to show math equations like this in Upp (this one is just an example):
index.php?t=getfile&id=1604&private=0

What could I do?:
- Is it possible to do it using Qtf?
- Would I have to draw it in Painter?

Best regards
Koldo

No. You could embbed it IMO.

Well, I think the correct would be to create some sort of RichObject for this...

Hello luzr

From which class should I derive this "math object"?

Actually, the process is a little bit different.

You need to find "binary representation" (because, after all, you will need to store such object in QTF...). Then you provide a class that "draws" such binary representation.

I recommend digging around RichText/RichImage.

UPDATE:

Tom has already created some simple expressions rendering, it should be in TDraw formula.h / .cpp, and in TCtrlLib.

Sorry luzr

I have tried to compile TDraw and the best that I have go is this error:
error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _WinMain@16 referenced in function ___tmainCRTStartup

The more I touch the more errors I get.

To put void AppMain() or GUI_APP_MAIN is just the same.

These files use NAMESPACE_UPP instead of using namespace Upp.

Does it sound anything to you?

TDraw is not the main package. It is Tom's Draw extension library.

Sorry again luzr

If TDraw is not the main package, I do not know which is the right one.

If you think that TDraw is obsolete or outside actual Upp standards I can begin something based in QtfDrawing sample, so creating DrawingDraw, inserting it into a QtfRichObject and that in a qtf String.

Hello all

I have prepared a function to draw mathematical equations as this one:

index.php?t=getfile&id=1658&private=0

The function is:

Drawing DrawEquation(String str);

And the viewed sample call is:

Drawing drw = DrawEquation("integral(sqrt(cos(phi_ini^2)) + i^2 + 6, i = 1, 10)*dx = cos((27+x^2)^3.25)/(PI*R_0^2)");

It parses the String passed and builds the equation Drawing object considering upper and lower greek alphabet and easy subscripts and superscripts.

I think that now is not enough big to do a new enter in Bazaar for it. If somebody is interested in it I can include the code.

Now I use it to insert equations in Qtf through QtfRichObject and CreateDrawingObject. If somebody thinks about a better function interface proposals are accepted.

Best regards
Koldo

Yes, please. I'm very interesting in it. Thank you in advance.

Hello gridem

Here I enclose you the package.

Now the calling function is

QtfRichObject QtfEquation(String str)

so that to get it into Qtf is as simple as

GUI_APP_MAIN
{
	String qtfText;

	QtfRichObject qtEq = QtfEquation("integral(sqrt(cos(phi_ini^2)) + i^2 + 6, i = 1, 10)*dx = cos((27+x^2)^3.25)/(PI*R_0^2)");
	
	qtfText << "[R3 This is a formula in QTF:&" << qtEq;

	PromptOK(qtfText);
}

ToDo list:
- Improve appearance mainly in Linux
- Change font size
- (Perhaps) Improve expression parser

Hi Koldo

I missed that one.... I think it would be a very useful addon to QTF and to UWord !
What about embedding an equation editor in word control ? maybe just an aditstring with the equation preview in real time ?

Hello Massimo

Now QtfEquation only renders equations (and I have to polish it a little bit Rolling Eyes

).

An equation editor is something completely different...

Hi Koldo,

I usually hated M$ equation editor, he version I used were very fancy to look but quite uncomfortable to use.
I think that something like your is better, it's quite simple to enter en equation as a string and looking its correctness in real time in a control.... IMHO a better way to edit equations.

Hello Massimo

Your focus is very easy. Just subclassing RichObjectType and that is all.

See sample Reference/RichTextObject. You will like it...

Thank you Koldo Smile

I'll test it on these days. Btw, I think if it works as expected I'll add to my app... Is a structural analysis app, with an UWord module too to be able to handle external stuffs, and an equation editor there would be great.
