CreateMath

Creates a math equation from a linear text string. The resulting object can be inserted into a paragraph the same way as a run (e.g. via ApiParagraph#AddElement or ApiParagraph#Push).

Syntax

expression.CreateMath(text, format);

expression - A variable that represents an Api class.

Parameters

Name	Required/Optional	Data type	Default	Description
text	Required	string		An equation written as a linear text string.
format	Optional	"unicode" | "latex" | "mathml"	"unicode"	The format of the specified linear representation.

Returns

ApiMath

Example

Build a math equation object and insert it into a shape's paragraph like a text run in a presentation.

// Insert a formula into a shape as if it were a run of text in a presentation.

// Produce a reusable equation object and place it into a shape's paragraph content in a presentation.

const presentation = Api.GetPresentation();
const slide = presentation.GetSlideByIndex(0);
slide.RemoveAllObjects();

const fill = Api.CreateSolidFill(Api.RGB(255, 111, 61));
const stroke = Api.CreateStroke(0, Api.CreateNoFill());
const shape = Api.CreateShape("rect", 300 * 36000, 100 * 36000, fill, stroke);
shape.SetPosition(608400, 1267200);
slide.AddObject(shape);

const paragraph = shape.GetDocContent().GetElement(0);
const math = Api.CreateMath("x^2 + y^2 = z^2", "unicode");
paragraph.AddElement(math);
