Element: Equation.
Icon:
Text: A text field to display and modify a mathematical equation in TeX.
Description: An Equation is a basic element used to display a String variable which contains a mathematical equation for decorative purposes. The equation is introduced in TeX format. The image below was generated with the text x_0=e^\pi.
Currently, the Java class that supports this element doesn't allow the edition of the equation. However, we designed this view element as if it does, thus foreseeing future uses. The decorative (and more frequent) use works already.
