WebEQ Files and Directories

The WebEQ distribution unpacks "/bin", "/src/", "mkfonts" and "/doc" directories. The contents of these directories are summariezed below.

/bin

The WebEQ java .class files:

AboveBox.class         FontBox.class          StretchBox.class
ArrayBox.class         FontInfo.class         SubBox.class
BigOpBox.class         IntBox.class           SupBox.class
Box.class              Parse.class            TagAttributes.class
CharBox.class          ParseException.class   WebEQ.class
CharRender.class       RowBox.class           
EntityBox.class        SqrtBox.class

The /bin directory also contains the WebEQ symbol font files. These files are named symX-pY with .gif and .tab. extensions. The symbol fonts are contained in blocks of 10 symbols. The number in the X position denotes which font block. The number in the Y slot denotes a size. Each font block is generated in 7 sizes, with 7 being the largest.

Each symbol set requires a .gif image file containing a transparent bitmap of the symbols, and a .tab file specifying offset and alignment data. WebEQ has provisions for users to create their own symbol fonts. See the documentation pages on fonts for more details.

/mkfonts

This directory contains the TeX source and PERL scripts necessary to regenerate the WebEQ fonts, or to generate user fonts.

The TeX source code files are:

jmath-chars.tex   sym1.tex          sym2.tex          sym3.tex
sym4.tex          sym5.tex          sym6.tex          sym7.tex
sym8.tex

The PERL script is make-font. The directory also contains .html files for examining font block alignment.

/src

The /src directory contains that .java source files for WebEQ. There are four:

WebEQ.java	Parse.java	Box.java	CharRender.java

Though users are free to modify WebEQ for their own use, modified source and class files MAY NOT BE DISTRIBUTED. Web pages containing notation rendered with modified version must link to this site, and notified readers that WebEQ has been altered. Any source files must contain its original copyright statement.

We also request that modifications be reported to us so that we can better adapt future versions to the needs of the scientific community.
