MathLaTex plugin

[Ego Eram Reputo]

Over here.... https://forums.getpaint.net/topic/116364-math-support-latex/... physics_teacher asked if there was a way to "render on-the-fly latex in my diagrams". Unbelievably, my masterful Dr Scott's Markup Renderer was not doing the job. Wha....?

 

Anyway, I decided to write a much smaller and more specific plugin to render Math LaTeX equations using paint.net.

 

 

Download it by hitting the big blue button >> Download

 

Installation:

 

1. Unzip the file
2. Copy both DLL files to one of these two locations (depending on which version of paint.net you have installed) ....

• Classic: your \Effects\ folder.
• Store:  /My Documents/ paint.net App Files/Effects/

       3. Restart paint.net

       4. find the plugin in Effects > Text Formations

 

Many thanks to toe_head2001 and null54 for their guidance as this plugin was being developed. Because of these guys the plugin scales with the system DPI and also handles paint.net themes.

 

enjoy.

Thank you for your hard work!

This plugin only works on latest version of paint.net.

Full error message: PaintDotNet.WorkerThreadException: Worker thread threw an exception ---> System.MissingMethodException: Method not found: 'System.Drawing.Rectangle PaintDotNet.Effects.EffectEnvironmentParameters.get_SelectionBounds()'.

Yeh. Don't do that  

 

Thanks for the crash report. I'll have a look at it tomorrow.

Is there any specific syntax for brackets and braces ?
Normally for "{" it is :

\{

but the plugin says:

Quote

Error: Unknown symbol or command or predefined TexFormula: '{'

 

Thanks!

Brackets [ ] and ( ) don't need escaping. Just type the symbol.

 

Curly braces use \rbrace and \lbrace

(not all are implimented)

Is there a list of what's implemented somewhere?

[Ego Eram Reputo]

I've not found one. MathLaTeX uses this library: https://github.com/ForNeVeR/wpf-math. Have a look in there. Maybe I missed something.

Thank you SO MUCH for that !!!

I'm also a physics teacher and also use Paint.net for my lessons ! It's incredibly useful to me.

This is pretty sweet (thanks I've used your Markup Renderer a stack in the past). I notice this MathLaTex plugin doesn't support additional maths libraries like amsmath (ie. Using a command like \mathbf{k}_i). It would be nice if you could add an optional \include{} section to the window prompt to be able to use additional math mode libraries? Just an idea!

I'll give it some thought (I need to give my plugins some love but there never seems time)
