Fences
These templates provide you with various ways of
enclosing expressions between matching pair of
symbol, which are called fences or delimiters in
typesetting jargon.
Though you can type (), {} or [ ] on your
keyboard, these cant be adjusted along with their
size. The differences between equations created
using fence templates and one using bracket
characters on keyboard are as follows.

25

Fractions
This palette provides templates for creating
fraction layouts including diagonal fraction, slash
fraction as well as vertical fraction.
icon and
icon are used for creating full-size
fraction and reduced-size fraction respectively. In
a reduced-size fraction the numerator and
denominator are normally in subscript size and are
placed closer to the fraction bar. You can
customize the spacing for fractions from Define
Spacing command in the Format menu. Refer to
page 50 to learn the Define Spacing options.

Radicals
This palette provides templates for creating
radicals and long division layouts. The amount of
space between radicals and their contents can be
controlled using Define Spacing command in the
Format menu. You can also align a series of
radicals using Root Alignment command in the
Format menu. This command is activated when a
radical sign has been created. See page 49 to see
more about this command.

Subscripts and Superscripts

This palette provides templates for creating
subscripts and superscripts. Note that these
templates dont create slots for the expression to
which the subscript or superscript is being
attached.

26

MathMagic

Underscript and Overscripts

This palette provides templates for creating
subscripts and superscripts. Note that these
templates do create slot to which the subscript or
superscript is being attached.

Summations
You can create various types of sums with these
templates.You can also create repeated sums by
repeated usage of single summation template.

27

Integrals
There are thirty integral templates in all, including
single integrals, line integrals, double integrals and
triple integrals, all with various combinations of
integrals.

Products and Set - Theory

These templates are used to create products,
coproducts, and set-theoretic intersections and
unions.

28

MathMagic

Bars, Arcs, Braces and Brackets

These templates are used to create expressions
that have bars, arcs, braces or brackets either
under them or over them.

Arrows
These templates are used for creating expressions
that have arrows either under them or over them.

Labelled Arrows
These templates can be used to describe
convergence to a limit or some property of a
function.

29

Matrix
You can build column vectors, determinants,
matrices and other tabular layouts using these
matrix templates. The bottom-end templates
represent variable-size matrice or tables, that bring
up a dialog box for matrix configuration. The
dialog box allows you to specify the number of
rows and columns in your matrix, and how they
are aligned. See below.

Matrix setting dialog also lets you specify lines between rows or columns. You
can just clik the mouse and drag where you want to set lines.
The spacing of entries in a row and the spacing between rows can be controlled
using the Define Spacing command on Format menu.
See page 50 to learn more about the Define Spacing options.

30

MathMagic

Framed Box
You can frame a box in a few different styles
including fully framed square.
The thickness of the frame and the gap between
frame and slots can be adjusted in the Define
Spacing dialog.
You can also create an empty frame box by typing
in space characters.

Lined Box
When you need to put a horizontal line, X line,
slash, back slash on a chracter or on a whole box,
you can use these templates
The upper line is for a character and the lower line
is for a box.

Variables with Primes, Hats and Bars

Mathematical variables often have primes, hats,
bars, and dots attached to them. These are known
as diacriticals or accents. These templates will be
attached to the character to the left of the insertion
point. It is possible to attach them several times.
The order in which these templates are applied
may affect their positioning.
Selecting
icon will remove all the applied
templates from the character.

31

Spaces
This palette contains spacing templates that dont
have any slots. Each template adds one-point
space, thin space(one sixth of an em), thick space
(one third of an em) and Em space (quad).

Alignment
and
templates are used to align a set of
equations easily. See below to learn what these
templates can do in your expressions.

You can align these two equations by adding Alignment template before each
equality.

x2 - 1 = y
x 3 + 3x 2 - 5x = y 2 - 1

32

MathMagic

See another example for the latter template.

y = x2 - 1
y 2 - 1 = x 3 + 3x 2 - 5x
You can align these two equations by adding

template before each equal sign.

= x2 - 1
y 2 - 1= x 3 + 3x 2 - 5x

And then, add

template before y of the first equation.

y = x2 - 1
y 2 - 1= x 3 + 3x 2 - 5x
MathMagic automatically determines the necessary spacing value before y.
The last equations clearly look better.

x2 - 1

=y

x 3 + 3x 2 - 5x= y 2 - 1

33

Symbols
Choosing a symbol icon will insert that symbol into your equations in the
same way that pressing a key will insert a character.
Here are all the symbols that MathMagic supports brief reviews of the each
symbols fallows.

mathematical symbols to defined
size.
Define Size - You can change the definition of any
type size using the Define Size command.
Choosing this command brings up the following
dialog box.

The pictures in the dialog box show the meanings and uses of each of the type
sizes.

46

MathMagic

The default unit of measurement for type sizes is points. If you simply type a
number, MathMagic will assume that you want to use points unit. You can
specify a type size as a percentage of your Full typesize, because then you wont
need to change it in the event that you change your Full typesize. You can do
this simply by typing a number followed by a % sign.
For example, suppose your Full typesize is defined as 12pt. If you set your
Subscript typesize to 75%, then your subscripts will be in 9pt size, but if you
later change your Full type size to 10 points, your subscripts will automatically
change to 7.5pt. Note that the Full typesize cant be followed by % sign.

Format menu

The format menu is used to control the positioning of portions of equations. The
first three commands control horizontal alignment, and the next three control
vertical alignment. The horizontal alignment commands are applied to piles of
equations.
Nudge means point by point movement for an accurate adjustment for a
selection.

47

Align Left - moves lines horizontally so that their left-hand ends are aligned.
Align Center - moves lines horizontally so that their centers are aligned.
Align Right - moves lines horizontally so that their right-hand ends are aligned.
Align Top - moves lines or matrix containing the insertion point so that its top
line aligns with the line containing it.
Align Base - moves lines or matrix containing the insertion point so that its
baseline aligns with the line containing it.
Align Bottom - moves lines or matrix containing the insertion point so that its
bottom line aligns with the line containing it.
Nudge Left / Right / Up / Down - moves the selection to the specified direction
with 2304 (32 * 72) dpi accuracy, which means you can move a selection by
1/2304 inch.
Set Nudge Position - selecting this menu item or pressing command-5, will
show up a dialog as well as let you set the Nudge value accurately.

Fence Alignment - This feature allows you to easily adjust the alignment of
items within fences (brackets, parentheses, braces, etc.). Fences are normally
centered with respect to the height where the horizontal strokes of minus signs
and addition signs are located. This doesnt always look exactly the way you
want it. For example, see below.

2 sin x_
Z
y+
b
]
4 `
y 3 - 1 = x +[
] sin y b
\
a
The numerator in the above expression is much taller than the denominator,
resulting in a large white gap at the bottom of the expression. Choosing this
command brings up the following dialog box. (Place your cursor next to the
bracket or select the entire template to activate this command.)

48

MathMagic

Simply select the preferred option from the three choices, and click OK. The
results are as follows.
2 sin x_
Z
b
] y+
4 `
y 3 - 1 = x +[
] sin y b
\
a

Y ^
2 sin x
4
sin y

y+

y3 - 1 = x +

y3 - 1 = x +

Y ^
2 sin x
4
sin y

y+

Each choice has its own advantages, and the correct selection will depend on the
expression itself case by case.
Root Alignment - brings up a dialog box that let you choose one of the two
alignment for equations in which a series of radicals are used.

The first option represents

alignment with respect to the
character baseline.
In the second option, the
radical signs are extended
vertically for alignment.

49

Define Spacing - You can adjust the values of subscript depth, numerator height
in fractions, fraction bar overhang, line thickness, and so forth by using this
command.
When you choose this command, the following dialog box appears.

As you can see, you can swtich to each tab to set its dependant values.
The illustration on the right side shows you the meaning of each item that affects
to the result visually. The blue arrow normally tells the gap or thickness that is
affected by the value of the current selected value box. The green line shows you
the base line or base point.
The default unit of measurement for typesizes is points. If you simply type a
number, MathMagic will assume that you want to use points unit. You can
specify a typesize as a percentage of your Full typesize,because then you won t
need to change it in the event that you change your Full typesize.You can do
this simply by typing a number followed by a %sign.
You can save your settings as a default value set for future use in the document
by clicking Make Default. The value set can be refilled by Use Default
button next time.
Factory Settings button will reset all the current values to the MathMagic
recommended ones. Apply will show you the applied result in the document
without leaving this dialog.

MathMagic

Locating Insertion Point

When you edit or create equations in MathMagic Editor, it is important to check
where the cursor is. Blinking cursor indicates current insertion point. And you
should move the cursor to correct insertion point. Below is an example showing
the current cursor location in MathMagic Editor.

You can move the insertion point using mouse or keyboard arrows.
Also, you can move your cursor into the next slot of a template pressing Tab or
shift-Tab key. Now, lets create a simple equation to see how to insert templates
and symbols as well as how to move the cursor.

51

1. Open MathMagic Editor window by selecting New Equation from MathMagic

menu in the menu bar or by clicking equation tool icon in the tool bar and
draw an equation box.

2. Type x= on your keyboard.

3. Click the fraction icon

in Template Palette and select icon. The cursor is
automatically located at the denominator by default.

52

MathMagic

4. Type 2 and a on your keyboard and press Tab key to move the cursor into
the numerator slot.

5. Type - and b on your keyboard.

6. Switch to Symbol Palette and click the operator icon and select icon

7. Click the radical icon in the Tempalete Palette and select icon

53

8. Type b on your keyboard.

9. Click subscripts icon in the Template Palette and select icon

10. Type 2 on your keyboard.

54

MathMagic

11. Press Tab key or the right arrow key to move the insertion point into
next slot.
12. Type -, 4, a and c on your keyboard.

The result should be shown as below in the final printout.

- b ! b2 - 4ac
x=
2a

55

3.4 TeX
There is another way to write mathematical equations. TeX - the professional
mathematics markup language - is widely used in fields such as science and advanced
mathematics, and is used to write technical papers especially in science or engineering
colleges and research institutes.
MathMagic provides capability of converting TeX-to-equation and equation-to-TeX.
The following is an equation and its TeX strings.
1

# (x - 4x + 3) dx
2

$$\int_{3}^{1}{(x\nolimits^{2}-4x+3)\ dx}$$

In case you need to use TeX-based equations or to convert MathMagic equations into
TeX, read this chapter carefully.

Notes
MathMagic does not support full features of TeX. MathMagic can read
equations from TeX codes, and does not support the TeX-based
typography or page attributes. For more info about features of TeX
codes supported by MathMagic, refer to the Appendix B. TeX codes
supported by MathMagic.
