# SwiftUIMath
|
||||
<!-- TODO: Badges -->
|
||||
Render LaTeX-style math expressions natively in SwiftUI.
|
||||
|
||||
SwiftUIMath provides a small, focused SwiftUI API for displaying mathematical expressions across Apple platforms.

|

## Motivation
|
||||
|
||||
SwiftUIMath aims to make math expressions feel native in SwiftUI. It provides a small, focused API that renders math
|
||||
directly and integrates naturally with SwiftUI across Apple platforms.
|
||||
|
||||
## Features
|
||||
|
||||
- Native SwiftUI `Math` view
|
||||
- Inline and display math typesetting
|
||||
- Bundled, high-quality math fonts
|
||||
- Monochrome rendering (respects `foregroundStyle`)
|
||||
- Multicolor rendering (honors LaTeX color commands)
|
||||
- Vector-based, native rendering
|
||||
|
||||
## Minimum requirements
|
||||
|
||||
You can use SwiftUIMath on the following platforms:
|
||||
|
||||
- iOS 17+
|
||||
- macOS 14+
|
||||
- tvOS 17+
|
||||
- watchOS 10+
|
||||
- visionOS 1.0+
|
||||
|
||||
## Getting started
|
||||
|
||||
The simplest way to render math is with the `Math` view:
|
||||
|
||||
```swift
|
||||
Math("x^2 + y^2 = z^2")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
By default, math is rendered in *display style*. You can control the typesetting style using a view modifier:
|
||||
|
||||
```swift
|
||||
Math("\\int_0^1 x^2\\,dx = \\frac{1}{3}")
|
||||
.mathTypesettingStyle(.text)
|
||||
|
||||
Math("\\frac{1}{2} + \\sqrt{2}")
|
||||
.mathTypesettingStyle(.display)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Styling math
|
||||
|
||||
SwiftUIMath keeps styling explicit and predictable. There are three main knobs: font, typesetting style, and
|
||||
rendering mode.
|
||||
|
||||
### Fonts
|
||||
|
||||
SwiftUIMath ships with a curated set of bundled math fonts, exposed via `Math.Font`.
|
||||
|
||||
```swift
|
||||
Math("\\sum_{i=1}^{n} x_i")
|
||||
.mathFont(Math.Font(name: .latinModern, size: 24))
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
You can check [`Font.swift`](./Sources/SwiftUIMath/Font.swift) for the available bundled fonts.
|
||||
|
||||
### Rendering mode
|
||||
|
||||
SwiftUIMath supports two rendering modes: `monochrome` (the default) and `multicolor`.
|
||||
|
||||
In monochrome mode, `Math` respects the surrounding SwiftUI foreground style.
|
||||
|
||||
```swift
|
||||
Math("E = mc^2")
|
||||
.foregroundStyle(.blue)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This mode is ideal when math should blend naturally with surrounding text.
|
||||
|
||||
Multicolor mode honors LaTeX color commands such as `\color` and `\textcolor`. Currently, only hex colors
|
||||
(e.g. `#RRGGBB`) are supported.
|
||||
|
||||
```swift
|
||||
Math("\\color{#cc0000}{a}+\\color{#00aa00}{b}+\\color{#0000cc}{c}")
|
||||
.mathRenderingMode(.multicolor)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
In multicolor mode:
|
||||
|
||||
- Explicit LaTeX colors are preserved
|
||||
- Uncolored glyphs use a base color (`Color.primary` by default)
|
||||
|
||||
## Scope
|
||||
|
||||
SwiftUIMath focuses on rendering LaTeX math-mode expressions.
|
||||
|
||||
It is designed for displaying mathematical notation in SwiftUI views, not for typesetting full LaTeX documents or
|
||||
evaluating expressions. While it supports a wide range of common math constructs, not all LaTeX commands are
|
||||
implemented.
|
||||
|
||||
## Installation
|
||||
|
||||
You can add SwiftUIMath to an Xcode project by adding it to your project as a package.
|
||||
|
||||
> https://github.com/gonzalezreal/swiftui-math
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to use SwiftUIMath in a [SwiftPM](https://swift.org/package-manager/) project, it's as
|
||||
simple as adding it to your `Package.swift`:
|
||||
|
||||
``` swift
|
||||
dependencies: [
|
||||
.package(url: "https://github.com/gonzalezreal/swiftui-math", from: "0.1.0")
|
||||
]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
And then adding the product to any target that needs access to the library:
|
||||
|
||||
```swift
|
||||
.product(name: "SwiftUIMath", package: "swiftui-math"),
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Acknowledgments
|
||||
|
||||
SwiftUIMath builds on prior work in native math rendering on Apple platforms:
|
||||
|
||||
- [iosMath](https://github.com/kostub/iosMath) laid the groundwork for native math layout and rendering.
|
||||
- [SwiftMath](https://github.com/mgriebling/SwiftMath) brought these ideas into the Swift ecosystem and inspired
|
||||
this project.
|
||||
|
||||
This work would not be possible without the contributions of these projects.
