Ziamath Classes

class ziamath.zmath.Math(mathml: str | Element, size: float | None = None, font: str | None = None)

MathML Element Renderer

Parameters:

  • mathml – MathML expression, in string or XML Element

  • size – Base font size, pixels

  • font – Filename of font file. Must contain MATH typesetting table.

drawon(svg: Element, x: float = 0, y: float = 0, halign: Literal['left', 'center', 'right'] = 'left', valign: Literal['top', 'center', 'base', 'axis', 'bottom'] = 'base') → Element

Draw the math expression on an existing SVG

Parameters:

  • x – Horizontal position in SVG coordinates

  • y – Vertical position in SVG coordinates

  • svg – The image (top-level svg XML object) to draw on

  • halign – Horizontal alignment

  • valign – Vertical alignment

Note: Horizontal alignment can be the typical ‘left’, ‘center’, or ‘right’. Vertical alignment can be ‘top’, ‘bottom’, or ‘center’ to align with the expression’s bounding box, or ‘base’ to align with the bottom of the first text element, or ‘axis’, aligning with the height of a minus sign above the baseline.

classmethod fromlatex(latex: str, size: float | None = None, mathstyle: str | None = None, font: str | None = None, color: str | None = None, inline: bool = False)

Create Math Renderer from a single LaTeX expression. Requires latex2mathml Python package.

Parameters:

  • latex – Latex string

  • size – Base font size

  • mathstyle – Style parameter for math, equivalent to “mathvariant” MathML attribute

  • font – Font file name

  • color – Color parameter, equivalent to “mathcolor” attribute

  • inline – Use inline math mode (default is block mode)

classmethod fromlatextext(latex: str, size: float = 24, mathstyle: str | None = None, textstyle: str | None = None, font: str | None = None, color: str | None = None)

Create Math Renderer from a sentence containing zero or more LaTeX expressions delimited by $..$, resulting in single MathML element. Requires latex2mathml Python package.

Parameters:

  • latex – string

  • size – Base font size

  • mathstyle – Style parameter for math, equivalent to “mathvariant” MathML attribute

  • textstyle – Style parameter for text, equivalent to “mathvariant” MathML attribute

  • font – Font file name

  • color – Color parameter, equivalent to “mathcolor” attribute

getsize() → tuple[float, float]

Get size of rendered text

getyofst() → float

Y-shift from bottom of bbox to 0

classmethod mathml2svg(mathml: str | Element, size: float | None = None, font: str | None = None)

Shortcut to just return SVG string directly

save(fname)

Save expression to SVG file

svg() → str

Get expression as SVG string

svgxml() → Element

Get standalone SVG of expression as XML Element Tree

class ziamath.zmath.Latex(latex: str, size: float | None = None, mathstyle: str | None = None, font: str | None = None, color: str | None = None, inline: bool = False)

Render Math from LaTeX

Parameters:

  • latex – Latex string

  • size – Base font size

  • mathstyle – Style parameter for math, equivalent to “mathvariant” MathML attribute

  • font – Font file name

  • color – Color parameter, equivalent to “mathcolor” attribute

  • inline – Use inline math mode (default is block mode)

class ziamath.zmath.Text(s, textfont: str | None = None, mathfont: str | None = None, mathstyle: str | None = None, size: float | None = None, linespacing: float | None = None, color: str | None = None, halign: str = 'left', valign: str = 'base', rotation: float = 0, rotation_mode: str = 'anchor')

Mixed text and latex math. Inline math delimited by single $..$, and display-mode math delimited by double $$…$$. Can contain multiple lines. Drawn to SVG.

Parameters:

  • s – string to write

  • textfont – font filename or family name for text

  • mathfont – font filename for math

  • mathstyle – Style parameter for math

  • size – font size in points

  • linespacing – spacing between lines

  • color – color of text

  • halign – horizontal alignment

  • valign – vertical alignment

  • rotation – Rotation angle in degrees

  • rotation_mode – Either ‘default’ or ‘anchor’, to mimic Matplotlib behavoir. See: https://matplotlib.org/stable/gallery/text_labels_and_annotations/demo_text_rotation_mode.html

bbox()

Get bounding box (xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax) of Text.

drawon(svg: Element, x: float = 0, y: float = 0, halign: str | None = None, valign: str | None = None) → Element

Draw text on existing SVG element

Parameters:

  • svg – Element to draw on

  • x – x-position

  • y – y-position

  • halign – Horizontal alignment

  • valign – Vertical alignment

getsize()

Get pixel width and height of Text.

save(fname)

Save expression to SVG file

svg() → str

Get expression as SVG string

svgxml() → Element
