The Google infographic web service is probably the simplest one to use (there are many others): http://code.google.com/apis/chart/infographics/ You post a formula and get back a PNG that you display as a morph. Should be doable in 1 line of Smalltalk code.
Also works with HTTPSocket instead of ZnClient, if you don't use Zinc: (ZnClient getPng: 'http://chart.googleapis.com/chart?cht=tx&chl=' , 'a^2+b^2=c^2' encodeForHTTP) asMorph openInHand
Of course you can do the processing also yourself, but this is more complicated. Pier-Math does that for example.

Hi
I'm working with some simple math equations and am looking for a nicer way to display them. Is there any existing work that I might be able to re-use/build upon?
For instance, given this equation, (1+2/3)*4 I would like to see it displayed like the Equation Editor in Microsoft Word or the equations in a Mathematica notebook. See attached screenshots:

I'm not looking for anything fancy. Something simple to get me started would be helpful as well.
I looked briefly at Dr. Geo but I don't think it support displaying equations in that manner.
Thanks!
