Jonny_trigonometry said:ya, that's what I've been doing, but I have to put it through photoshop to crop it down, and change the contrast so that the background is white instead of grey. After I get the equation rendered, I have to then go back and delete the post that I made to render it (because at least for me, pf doesn't render the equations in a preview). Doing this just takes too much time to be practical; also, it uses/abuses pf's resources. I'd rather just get a plugin.

Jonny_trigonometry said:All I've used is Mathematica. I haven't been able to figure out MATLAB on my own yet. Is there a online tutorial you would recommend for matlab?
