The PowerMath stand-alone application runs independently of any Plug-ins or host applications, and can create and edit complex sets of preferences (the PowerMath supersets), as well as create libraries of equation files as prototypes or for particular use within applications (such as InDesign) that support PowerMath Plug-ins. PowerMath ASCII files can also be created by the stand-alone application, with independent equation PICT and MathML files soon to be supported.When the stand-alone application is accessed by a PowerMath Plug-in, fully automated in-document support of the above features becomes available, along with production-oriented features such as global updates reflecting powerful transformation capabilities flowing preferences editing, vertical alignment points, and transformation within the document of equations to the alternative data formats.Legacy PowerMath equations and supersets through Mac OS 9 are fully supported — the equations via PowerMath ASCII import, and the supersets without modification.Custom Pi fonts for oversized glyphs that were used very extensively throughout the very large volume of these legacy books and documents are also currently supported by PowerMathID v5.1 in OS X. This includes drawing and accurate derivation of metrics data for any and all of these oversized glyphs, with no special concerns or workarounds as may still be required for some related applications migrating to Mac OS X.Download the new PowerMath stand-alone application, along with the newly released Plug-ins for Adobe InDesign CS and CS2 to test drive in demo mode.Click the Resources tab above for related articles and other information on this topic.Manufacturer: PowerHouse Software, Inc.
