Remember the requirements:

you need to have a least JDK1.2 installed properly on your machine
you need also to load the XML parser (Xerces Java Parser 1.0.3 xerces.jar)

How to use Figue to display MathML presentation ?

Input : MathML File or MathML String
parse the MathML input and give a corresponding MathML Document
process and gernerate Figue Facade from the MathML Document

Figue module for importing and processing the MathML

Example of MathML display by using Figue (Step by Step)

The Whole Program

Import the usual figue packages.

import figue.*;
import figue.box.*;
import figue.resource.*;
import figue.io.xml.Utility;

Import the xerces java parser packag

import org.apache.xerces.parsers.DOMParser;
import org.xml.sax.SAXException; 
import org.w3c.dom.Document;

Import the java package

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.lang.reflect.*;
import java.io.IOException;

Create a xerces java parser

          try {
            parser = new org.apache.xerces.parsers.DOMParser();
            // specifying validation
            boolean validate = true;
            parser.setFeature("http://xml.org/sax/features/validation", validate);
            boolean nameSpaceProcessing = true;
            parser.setFeature("http://xml.org/sax/features/namespaces", nameSpaceProcessing);         
        }
        catch (SAXException  e ) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

Create a Figue facade and init the resources for it (font, color ...)

  
        _facade = new AWTFacade();
        initResources();

Get the edited MathML text and parse it afterwards. We have a three different forms of input data of

String text = textArea.getText();
try {
doc=Utility.xercesParseXMLStringReader(text,"/net/home/hnaciri/THESE/implementation/test_figue/dtd/dtdMathML/mmlents/mathml.dtd",parser);
}
catch (SAXException  e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}  
catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace(); 
}

Build a FIGUE facade from MathML Element

Utility.buildFacade( _facade, doc.getDocumentElement(),"MathML");

Display a facade

    _facade.buildInit(null); 
    _facade.buildComplete();
