Hi all,

I want to know do there existing some LATEX LIB that allow me to generate a image of customized equations in C++ environment?

Thank you.

The only one I know of is mimeTeX, but you'll have to tweak the code because it was designed to create an executable which would run as a CGI program for generating web pages. It may take some effort to extract bits of the code to be used as functions or libraries for use with C++. And the images don't look all that great.

There is a fairly good Java library for LaTeX called JLaTeXMath, and you could use the Java Native Interface (JNI) to have its classes be available to your C++ program. One nice thing is that it is self-contained; in particular it doesn't require LaTeX to be installed. Using JNI is very straightforward and might be the best way to go for your purposes.

Hi,

A very easy way to call Java from C++ is to use GIWS (it is intensively used in Scilab):
