Have you looked at the SVG mark up language for vector graphics. It is quite powerful. http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/ IBM also have a set of free tutorials for a quick start up. http://www-105.ibm.com/developerworks/education.nsf/xml-onlinecourse-bytitle/DC44FAA6F9E47C2386256B60006DADC9?OpenDocument Lyn On 5 Mar 2003, at 19:59, Patrick Byers wrote: > I appreciate your comments on the need for graphics in MathML.
