Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

mathmesh

v0.0.9

Published

Given a latex math string, returns its positions and indices (for babylonjs) and vertices (for threejs bufferGeometry), also gives 2D mesh for framework such as pixi

Readme

note: It doesn't support sqrt / nth root, please use ^(1/n) instead


To install:

    npm install mathmesh

to generate 3D mesh for your latex math:

import {mathmesh} from "mathmesh";
const mesh = mathmesh("\\int_{a}^{b}x^2 \\,dx");
console.log(mesh);

you will see:

{
    positions: [ x1, y1, z1, x2, y2, z2, .....],
    indicies: [ # # # # # .....],
    vertices: Float32Array()
}

import {mathmesh} from "mathmesh";
const vertices = mathmesh("\\int_{a}^{b}x^2 \\,dx").vertices;
//...
return <bufferGeometry >
    <bufferAttribute
        attach='attributes-position'
        array={vertices}
        count={vertices.length / 3}
        itemSize={3}
    /> 
</bufferGeometry>

import {mathmesh} from "mathmesh";
//...
const verts = mathmesh("\\int_{a}^{b}x^2 \\,dx");
const customMesh = new Mesh("myMathMesh", scene);
const vertexData = new VertexData();

vertexData.positions = verts.positions;
vertexData.indices = verts.indices;
vertexData.applyToMesh(customMesh);

const fontMaterial = new StandardMaterial("mathmeshMat", scene);
fontMaterial.backFaceCulling = false;
fontMaterial.emissiveColor = new Color3(0, 1, 0);
customMesh.material = fontMaterial;

Here is a example that showcases Vite+React+Babylon+Ts+Mathmesh: https://github.com/cyavictor88/mathmesh-ts-babylon


It works in Vite React, but for npm run build to work, you might need to do NODE_OPTIONS=--max-old-space-size=4000 vite build

Also tried in NextJs, runs fine


to generate 2D mesh for your latex math:

import {mathmesh2D} from "mathmesh";
const mesh = mathmesh2D("\\int_{a}^{b}x^2 \\,dx");
console.log(mesh);

you will see:

{
    positions: [ x1, y1, x2, y2, .....],
    indicies: [ # # # # # .....],
    vertices: Float32Array(),
    triangles: [ 
    [ [t1_x0,t1_y0], [t1_x1, t1_y1] ,[t1_x2, t1_y2] ], 
    [ [t2_x0,t2_y0], [t2_x1, t2_y1] ,[t2_x2, t2_y2] ],
    ... ]
    aTextureCoord: number[];
    aVertexPosition: number[];  
}

import {mathmesh2D} from "mathmesh";
//...
const mesh2D = mathmesh2D("\\sum_{n=1}^{\\infty} 2^{-n} = 1")
const geometry = new PIXI.Geometry()
.addAttribute('aVertexPosition', mesh2D.aVertexPosition,2)
.addAttribute('aTextureCoord', mesh2D.aTextureCoord,2)
.addIndex(mesh2D.indices);  
const greenColor = new PIXI.MeshMaterial(PIXI.Texture.WHITE, {
    tint: 0x00ff00, // Green color
});
const pixiMesh = new PIXI.Mesh(geometry, greenColor);
app.stage.addChild(pixiMesh);
import {mathmesh2D} from "mathmesh";
//...
const mesh2D = mathmesh2D("\\sum_{n=1}^{\\infty} 2^{-n} = 1")
const mathmeshGraphics = new PIXI.Graphics();
mathmeshGraphics.beginFill(0x000000);
mesh2D.triangles.forEach( (tri: number[][]) => {
    mathmeshGraphics.moveTo(tri[0][0], tri[0][1] );
    mathmeshGraphics.lineTo(tri[1][0], tri[1][1] );
    mathmeshGraphics.lineTo(tri[2][0], tri[2][1] );
    mathmeshGraphics.lineTo(tri[0][0], tri[0][1] );
});
mathmeshGraphics.endFill();
app.stage.addChild(mathmeshGraphics);

if you want build from source and to see how it draw out locally , you can simply:

  1. Clone this repo
  2. npm install
  3. npm run build
  4. remove "type":"module" in package.json
  5. npm run test
  6. open localhost:8081
  7. you should see a picture: alt text


Won't able to do it without this amazing repo: https://github.com/fetisov/ttf2mesh
