Here is a tester: Displaying Math Symbols.

I dont know if any of you have ever used it but in word you can isert this object called Microsoft Equation 3.0. This is a really nice little took allowing you to write math equations. Now i need something like this in my app. The user needs to be able to put a definate integral symbol in the text area (or sum area where they can enter text).

An example:

Say the user wants to start the line with a definate integral symbol he/she should be able to hit a button, they will then be promted for the bounds i.e 0 and 1. This symbol will then be displayed in the writing field just like any other text.

Just wondering if anyone could give me some advice of what i should do. Is there an API in the jdk or a 3rd party API? Or will it be much more difficult?

Thanks in advance.

Nick
