flutter_math 0.0.1+1

Math equation rendering with pure Flutter.

Flutter Math

Math equation rendering in pure Dart & Flutter.

This project aims to achieve maximum compatibility and fidelity with regard to the KaTeX project, while maintaining the performance advantage of Dart and Flutter. A furthur UnicodeMath-style equation editing support will be experimented in the future.

The TeX parser is a completely rewritten Dart port of the KaTeX parser, with almost full features. There are only a few differences. List of some unsupported features can be found here.

Render Samples

x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}

i\hbar\frac{\partial}{\partial t}\Psi(\vec x,t) = -\frac{\hbar}{2m}\nabla^2\Psi(\vec x,t)+ V(\vec x)\Psi(\vec x,t)

\hat f(\xi) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty f(x)e^{- 2\pi i \xi x}\mathrm{d}x

How to use

Mobile

Add the following font resources into your pubspec.yaml (under the root flutter: tag, not dependencies: flutter:)

flutter:

  // ......

Currently only Android platform has been tested. If you encounter iOS problems, please file issue here.

Web

Due to the way KaTeX depends on SVG resources and the poor support for SVG on Flutter Web, currently there is no plan to support Flutter Web.

API usage

Currently the usage is straightforward. Just FlutterMath.fromTexString('\frac a b'). There is also optional arguments of Options and Settings, which correspond to Options and Settings in KaTeX and support a subset of their features.

Display-style equations:

FlutterMath.fromTexString('\frac a b', options: Options.displayOptions)

In-line equations

FlutterMath.fromTexString('\frac a b', options: Options.textOptions)

You can also resize the output by providing baseSizeMultiplier parameter

FlutterMath.fromTexString(
  '\frac a b', 
  options: Options(
    style: MathStyle.display, 
    baseSizeMultiplier: 1.5,
  ),
)
