Hello,
we started to approach the embedding of the MathTran service for XWiki embedding of formulae. A very very rudimentary version (based on velocity macros) is at
http://i2geo.net/bin/Sandbox/FormulaeClearly, we'll make a macro instead of a velo-macro, so that syntax has some input freedom (you can't put \cdot currently!), and maybe even a plugin (so as to cache at the xwiki-server-side the resulting image.
That'll work well, with baseline, for html-rendered pages.That will be somewhat ugly, however, for print (gross resolution, nothing vector). Having discussed with a MathTran developer we realized it would be easy to actually use the DVI to embed for print provided the fonts are installed on the XWiki server (they are freely available).
This file is very small and is in the picture's metadata. The DVI format is basically a vector format that says where to place which characters.
Is it possible to extend the print features for some islands so that it "draws on a Graphics2D" ? That would solve our approach without the requirement of any installation on the XWiki-server except for the fonts.
thanks in advance paul
