Here is a tester: Displaying Math Symbols.

I dont know if any of you have ever used it but in word you can isert this object called Microsoft Equation 3.0. This is a really nice little took allowing you to write math equations. Now i need something like this in my app. The user needs to be able to put a definate integral symbol in the text area (or sum area where they can enter text).
An example:
Say the user wants to start the line with a definate integral symbol he/she should be able to hit a button, they will then be promted for the bounds i.e 0 and 1. This symbol will then be displayed in the writing field just like any other text.
Just wondering if anyone could give me some advice of what i should do. Is there an API in the jdk or a 3rd party API? Or will it be much more difficult?
Thanks in advance.

What would you recommend?I'm not too familiar with it myself, just needed it a few times (usually as a user, not as a developer, 'though).
But from the list I posted above this one looks nice: http://www.dragmath.bham.ac.uk/
And since it's open source, I assume it should be reasonably simple to make a simple MathML renderer out of this. (i.e. remove the editing part, if it's not needed).
I've seen Java programs that include/embed the Gecko HTML rendering engine, just so they can display mathematical formulas.I like that idea. I've never tried it.The idea might be fine, but it's a mess to set up, if it's not bundled perfectly using some installer. Especially since many current Gecko builds have problems with MathML, you need to find exactly the correct build for it to work right ... And since the particular program in question also put some UI elements in the HTML together with the MathML the UI look .... quite patchworky (the rest of the UI was created using SWT).
You can look at it here: http://www.risc.uni-linz.ac.at/research/formal/software/ProofNavigator/
It's a tool I needed for a university course.

FR Report_ Display Mark Symbol

Hi All,
I am using FR 9.3.1 on windows 2003 server. I am trying to create a variance report and would like to know whether the following can be achieved or not.
Is there any possibility to have "Mark" symbol and "X" or "cross" symbol displayed next to my Variance % results if my results are positive ar negative. Example as below:
Actuals BUDGET Variance Variance%
Sales 400.02 658.10 27.74 7% (Here it would display a Tick Mark in green in the preview)
COGS 179.236 150.456 -20.145 -13% (Here would like to display "X" symbol in red in preview)
I can find the formatting option where the figures can be colored ad red or green using condition but not with Symbols.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.
Mars

One option would be to use WingDings/Webdings font: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wingdings
You also have to make sure the fonts are installed on the FR server & PDF server I think (from memory, we reviewed this about 3 years ago).
If using Firefox as the web browser, rather than IE, I don't believe these will show up correctly so you might have to use unicode equivalents.

FrameMaker 11 not displaying some math symbols-how to correct or work around?

Hello,
I created a few equations for a manual, and everything displayed correctly. After I was upgraded to a new computer (same OS - Win 7), all the minus signs in the equations I made aren't displaying—all I get are (?)s.
I've tried creating a new equation, but the minus symbol still isn't displaying. Strange to me that it's only the minus symbol not displaying; all other operators display correctly.
I'm wondering if this is a symbol font issue, or a unicode issue, but after searching the forums all morning (and all afternoon yesterday) I haven't found any information on correcting the issue or working around it.
*Update*
I had a coworker open the file in question, and the minus symbols all displayed correctly. He is running Frame 11 on XP.
-Ben

The font used for the math symbols is specified in the maker.ini with the MathFamily=Symbol entry in the [Fonts] section.
I've tried playing around with changing this in FM11 and FM12, but I always get the minus sign to appear in both versions. [There is a minor bug in FM12 no longer supporting the backslash sequences, so I was checking if other things were pooched.]
The math characters, on the other hand, are defined in the fminit\mathchar.cfg file, e.g.
< alpha      61 Symbol Regular>
< beta      62 Symbol Regular>
< plus      2b Times Regular>
< equal      3d Times Regular>
< minus      d0 Times Regular>
etc.
Notice that there is a mix of Font Families specified in the cfg file. It could be that if Times is missing and FM doesn't properly substitute proprly, one may get the unknown character.
Try changing the font definitions in the mathchar.cfg file (and make a back-up so that it can be restored if this gets messed up).

Firefox math symbols not displaying correctly

Firefox math symbols not displaying correctly and special characters not display correctly
Example: triangle symbol display "D" , but other browser is displaying fine.
Please give me a solution.
Thanks & Regards
Ajay Kumar

This page uses the Symbol font to display the triangles.
<pre><nowiki>font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Symbol;mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";color:black</nowiki></pre>
It works for me on Linux, but probably not on Windows.<br />
Websites shouldn't be using this Symbol font, but use the Unicode replacements instead: Δ (&#916; &Delta;).

Math symbols not displaying in browser

I'm attempting to study for CLEP exams on Instacert's website and have encountered a problem with the math symbols not displaying correctly. I did the recommendations by the webmaster and tried Google Chrome, then Safari instead of Mozilla's Firefox, and I have downloaded the webmaster's suggested window's font (symbol.ttf), to no avail. He's not familiar with Apple at all, so he's no further help.
I have attached a screenshot of one of the pages not displaying the symbols correctly. As you can see, the math union and intersection symbols look foreign and some of the other math symbols are not correct in other web pages:

Display Currency Symbol disabled, but symbol prints if currency in a text formula. Why?

Our Crystal Report displays money fields (from our SQL database).
Our Crystal Reports Designer has the Display Currency Symbol feature disabled by default when writing reports.
On one report we have a Sell_Amount currency field to display:
We have this Sell_Amount field directly on the report in one section.
We also have this Sell_Amount field in a formula for printing in a different section. This formula is defined as a text field as it will either display 'No Charge' or the Sell_Amount based on a condition, such as: If {NoCharge} Then 'No Charge' Else ToText(Sell_Amount)
When viewing this report on our development machine in Crystal Designer, the Currency Symbol does not show for either the Sell_Amount field that is directly on the report or for the Sell_Amount that is in the formula (I am guessing because we have the Display Currency Symbol disabled).
When viewing on a runtime machine (no Designer, just runtime components), the formula (if NoCharge = False) displays the Sell_Amount (in the formula) WITH the currency symbol, but the Sell_Amount that is directly on the report (not in the formula) does not display the currency symbol. Why?
This has been an issue ever since were were on Crystal 8 way back when. We have never found (nor asked) for a reason, but now we need to know the reason/rules, etc. for this. We are currently on Crystal 2008 SP6 (Designer) and deploying Crystal Reports Developer for Microsoft Visual Studio SP6 runtime components. As I said, this has been an issue for years, but we now need an explanation. I have not been able to locate one on the site anywhere. Can you please explain the rules of Currency Symbol in this scenario?
Thank you.

Hi NB,
I did say to use the Advanced editor but I did not say to use it for attaching the report...
So to be clear here is what I see in the report Designer ( I put the formula into text boxes also ):
For the NoDatabaseCurrency field you have to set the currency to Fixed, Floating will add a space:
Which is opposite of what you originally posted:
"...Our Crystal Reports Designer has the Display Currency Symbol feature disabled by default..."
It's not disabled by default, please explain?
As for using the CCUR() function the help file does show the Currency symbol is on by default:
Examples
The following examples are applicable to both Basic and Crystal syntax:
CCur (200.20)
In Crystal syntax this is equivalent to writing $200.20. In Basic syntax, CCur (200.20) is the way to directly create a Currency value of 200.20.
CCur ("$200.20")
Returns the Currency value CCur (200.20) given the String value "$200.20".
CCur ("two hundred dollars")
Causes an error to occur. The CCur function cannot convert the String "two hundred dollars" to a Currency value.
So if you mean you went into the Options menu and Fields, Currency and check off this option:
[Update] - After testing this a few times it does retain the Options, current, Display Currency Symbol, so creating a new report the option is unchecked.
You are correct, even though I checked it off when I create a new report the option is checked on and obviously it's still on for each field and object. This may be a bug, testing more and checking with a few more people and eventually R&D.
So please clarify the steps you are doing?
Make sure you are running CR Designer under local PC Admin rights, right click on the short cut and select run as Administrator or check this option on:
Thanks

Display Currency symbol with value in ALV Report

Hi Experts,
I need to display currency symbol with value in ALV Report like if currency type is dollar then $200.
Here I am using field catalog type slis_t_fieldcat_alv and suing field merge catalog FM: 'REUSE_ALV_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE'
I tried like this
    IF <fs_fieldcat>-fieldname = 'STPRS'.
      <fs_fieldcat>-seltext_s = 'Std Cost '.
      <fs_fieldcat>-seltext_m = 'Std Cost'.
      <fs_fieldcat>-seltext_l = 'Std Cost '
       <fs_fieldcat>-tabname = 'MBEW'.
      <fs_fieldcat>-ctabname = 'T001'.
      <fs_fieldcat>-cfieldname ='WAERS'.
      <fs_fieldcat>-datatype = 'CURR'.
    ENDIF.
Please any one can suggest the solution for this.
Advance Thanks.

User wants to display the % symbol beside the value

Hi all,
I have a key figure ..which is added to formula(aggregation tab set as average of a characteristic).
its displaying average correctly in the report output ,but user want it to be displayed % symbol beside that .
how can i do that ..
For other KPI ..i got the requirement as A-B/B and here i applied A-B %A B and its working fine.
What if i need to put % symbol beside a value ??

Hi Bilvanth ,
You can follow the below steps to achieve the desired output :
1) Create a formula in the query designer . Suppose your key figure is Y which you want to display with % symbol .
Take this key figure in the formula . Then from the Percentage Functions choose (%A)Percentage Share. Then after this write 100 .
So your formula would be : Y %A 100 .
2) Hide your original key figure Y and display this formula in the report . It will come with the percentage symbol .
Hope the above steps will help you to achieve the desired output .
Thanks & regards,
Ashutosh Singh

Preview not showing math Symbols in PDF files

I just upgraded to 10.6.1 and now preview is not showing math symbols like PI and the symbol for integrate, for example. Adobe Reader however displays the same files correctly. Now before anyone says anything about why am I using preview to view a PDF if I have adobe reader i downloaded Adobe reader to see if it was having the same issue. Just as a note the symbols show up in pages, stickies, etc. but not in Preview. If you copy the text in containing the symbol and paste into any of the aforementioned programs it is correctly displayed. I know it is not the font book, also i know it is not the files as other macs running 10.5 have no issues, i have the same programs they do the only difference is i am running 10.6. Anyone else having this issue or know how to fix it? I tried a new user and the same errors occur. No error messages or an other acknowledgment by the OS of error is presented.

I realize that preview has had some changes my main concern is whether or not this is an issue with my installation or if it is an issue with everyone running preview. I realize this is hard to know for sure but if you are having issues with preview displaying characters please let me know. Thanks for the file name for the plist i was not sure if there were other files that effected preview that were not so obvious.

Math Symbols in Flash

Hi! I'm currently working on a project that will need to
display square root symbols over dynamic text (ie. depending on the
server, i may need to display the square root of 3, or 5, or 2938).
i actually do not need to calculate it, only to display it. Is
there a way for me to use math symbols like this, as well as the
more common ones, say, pi, squared and cubed numbers in Flash?
thanks

Dan,

MathML is a cool flavor of XML, but Flash doesn't natively
support
MathML, even though it does fine with XML in general. The
upshot is that
it's theoretically possible to write a MathML API for Flash,
but until some
3rd party or Adobe writes it, there isn't a way to display
math equations in
Flash based on MathML markup.

Insert Greek Math Symbol

Created JSP BC4J application using JDeveloper 3.2.3. One of the
functions is to interpret the tilde and overcaret keyboard
characters as Greek Math Symbols when using the insert and edit
JSP pages, then saving them to the 8i database.
The problem I am having is the interpretation. If anyone can
point me in the right direction and/or provide a sample
methodology -- I would be most appreciative.
Thanks..

How to insert a math symbol in a pages document

I have a nonstandard math symbol to insert inot a pages document. Please explain how to do it.

If it is really non-standard, like not in Unicode, then you would have to use an image. For things in Unicode, try an app like Cymbol or search the app store for "equation".

Firefox not displaying certain symbols

I can't display certain symbols on Firefox.
Example: <code><span>&equiv;</span></code> does not show anything on the page I'm working on. However, a symbol like <code> <span>&rsaquo;</span> </code> would show.
I discovered a hack that displays the symbol by changing the tag. <code><h4>&equiv;</h4></code> with an h1, h2 tag and so on, it will display the symbol. This hack, however is semantically incorrect and I don't want it in my site just so the symbol can display on Firefox. My site already has the <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> just as this one.
Any suggestions?

Okay, so this is what I did: I took the whole source code of that page http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Unicode/Character_reference/2000-2FFF which displays all the symbols correctly, but as soon as I changed the symbol tag from td to span it vanished. So it looks that when wrapped on some tags, the symbols won't display.
A little more information, I'm working on a Wordpress theme, but I did a plain HTML page with the same results. The symbol displays on Safari, Chrome and Opera, I'm yet to try it on IE.

Hi, I have selected earse content and settings in general settings, after that my iphone displays

It takes a very long time, depending on the size 8,16,32GB?
it can take over a few hours.
if it doesn't work over 24hrs connect it to a computer using itunes, and choose update, it'll update it with the newest firmware.
