Abstract

The paper contributes a solution for creating and editing mathematical formula, graphics and geometry object for Web-based application of e-Science. The solution includes two useful program packages: MathEdit, a Web-based WYSIWYG mathematical expression editor, and GeometryEditor, a Web-based interactive tool for drawing geometry graphics. The two Web-based tools, both developed by JavaScript and DOM, can run in regular browsers. Through the uniform and well-defined API functions, MathEdit and GeometryEditor can interact between the editors and also with their hosting Web page. The architecture, implementation, and usage of MathEdit and GeometryEditor are presented together with the introduction of Web API Library.
