The MathML Toolbox
MathFlow Components
MathFlow Components are the building blocks you need to develop
custom solutions requiring equation editing, display, composition, and other
advanced math functionality. Design Science's extensive experience working
with system integrators, VARs, and ISVs creating custom math solutions has resulted
in a flexible and powerful collection of components and APIs covering most development
environments:
- Operating system: Windows, Mac, Solaris, Linux
- Programming environment: C++, .NET, Java, command line
- Deployment: client, server
MathFlow SDK
To get started, you need our MathFlow SDK product containing all components,
sample code, documentation, and development licenses. When you are ready to
deploy your solution, you obtain licensing for only the components it requires.
Use our MathFlow Evaluation and Inquiry
page to obtain the SDK and pricing information.
Editor Components
We offer three MathML editing components, each designed to target a specific
kind of user and application environment:
| Simple |
Style |
Structure |
|
|
|
| The Simple Editor is designed for applications
where end-users can enter mathematical equations in a simplified intuitive
user interface,
and only the meaning of the math matters. Online assessment and tutoring systems
are good examples. |
The Style Editor is tailored to the needs
of content authors, and provides precise control over the visual appearance
of math expressions. It is the ideal choice for applications where authors are
creating content for publication, such as a web-based editorial system. |
The Structure Editor targets professional
XML workflow users. Such users need fine control over visual presentation,
as well as its underlying MathML structure. It is the best choice for demanding
publishing workflow applications. |
Compare the
features of the MathFlow Editors to
see which one best suits your requirements.
Equation Composer Component
MathFlow's Equation Composer component utilizes Design Science's
high-performance MathML rendering engine for high-quality layout and typography,
converting a MathML string to a variety of formats:
- Raster graphic images: GIF, PNG
- Vector graphic images: EPS, PDF (SVG coming soon)
- Math speech text for accessibility
Document Composer Component
MathFlow's Document Composer component applies the Equation Composer
to all MathML instances in an XML or HTML document, turning them into image
files linked into the page and/or math speech text.
Other Technologies
While editing and rendering are critical functionality for most math-aware applications,
advanced applications often need to manipulate MathML-encoded expressions in other
ways as well. Areas where MathFlow components and Design Science expertise
can provide such advanced functionality include:
- MathML validation and canonicalization
- Conversion from Presentation MathML to Content MathML
- Graphing
- Expression evaluation
- Mathematical quality testing
- Math-to-speech conversion
- Equation search
- and more ...
