has anyone found a good solution to insert math formulas ?

By accident I ran into mimetex today, which can easily generate a gif image from a math formula.

So I'm thinking of using mimetex as a formula generator,
translate the gif imag into png image,
using the alternate text property as the formula source,
so changes to the formula can still be made afterwards.

Is this a bad idea ?
Are there other solutions ?

thanks,

I implement math formula in TRichViewEdit in two ways^
1. MS Word Equation Editor
2. Internal editor based on ExprDraw (www.delphikingdom.com - in Russian). Example: http://www.rsoftware.net/exprguide.exe

There is some troubles:
1. In my case (delphi5, office2000) doesn't export in RTF
2. Partially implemented (not save original formula text, waiting for RVA update).

thanks,

I tried MS Equation editor, and besides it's OLE with all its trouble, I couldn't get the buttonbar shown automatically.

The Russion site was akakadabra to me

So I tried MimeTex, and it works well and is good enough for me.
You can see some impressions here

I've also made an example, showing all the features shown on the site above. I'll send this example to Sergey and ask him to put this in the examples section.

Hi Stef,

Did you send this example to Sergey? I would love to see this example. Is it uploaded anywhere else where I can download it?

Yes I send it to Sergey,
but apparently he didn't find it useful
Sorry I don't have a copy anymore

Thanks Stef.

Sergey - I don't know about anyone else, but I would love to see this example posted in the samples area. If not, I would appreciate it if you could forward the sample to me.
