Interface TexSupportInterface

public interface TexSupportInterface

Defines an interface for TeX support. Currently, Waterloo graphics supports TeX via the GPL supplement, which uses JLatexMath or via JavaFX, which can display TeX in a WevView using MathJax. To guarantee portability to platforms without either installed, include a standard component using the image returned by getImage or the label returned by getLabel. For the kcl-gpl-tex package using JLatexMath these return a BufferedImage and a JLabel respectively.
