I’m working on a Java applet that needs to display ‘fancy’ equations. Is there any Java renderer for MathML or LaTeX that’s open source? Ideally it would be a pure Java solution that doesn’t use JNI.
Ideally it would also allow to animate the generated glyphs (e.g. animating adding a constant to both sides of a equation, lines going through terms for cancellation, etc.)
I know these libraries for Java:
JEuclid (MathML renderer; Apache License)
JLatexMath (Latex renderer; GNU License) improved JMathTeX
JMathTeX (Latex renderer; GNU License)
HotEqn (Latex renderer; GNU License ?)
SnuggleTex (Latex renderer; BSD License)
For the animation part of your question, you can look at these projects:
DragMath equation editor (Swing interface; GNU License)
Mirai Calc calculator (SWT interface; GNU License; uses JMathTeX)
Java Swing Equation builder
For a web interface you can also use the jsMath JavaScript or it’s successor Mathjax library as a Latex/MathML renderer.
