MIF Equation Statements
Math statement
A Math statement describes an equation within a document. It can appear at the top level or within a Page
or Frame statement.
or Frame statement.
Syntax
Usage
Values of the ShapeRect statement specify the coordinates and size of the bounding rectangle before it is
rotated. The equation is rotated by the value specified in an Angle statement. The MathFullForm string
defines the mathematical properties of the equation. For a complete description, see “MathFullForm
statement,” next.
rotated. The equation is rotated by the value specified in an Angle statement. The MathFullForm string

Whenever you save a document as a MIF file using the Save As command, a FrameMaker product writes
all the Math substatements, except ObColor, to the file. It writes an ObColor statement only when the
equation is in a color other than black. The ObColor statement specifies the color for the entire equation
object. To specify color for an individual element within an equation, use the formatting code (*qstringq*)
(see “MathFullForm statement syntax” on page 195).

If you are writing an output filter for converting FrameMaker equations to a format used by another appli-
cation, you might be able to ignore some of the Math substatements. You don’t need MIF statements for
FrameMaker’s math features that are unsupported by another application.

FrameMaker’s math features that are unsupported by another application.
If you are writing an input filter for converting equations created with another application to FrameMaker
equations, you must provide a ShapeRect or MathOrigin substatement to specify the equation’s location
on the page. The other Math substatements are not required. If you don’t provide them, the MIF inter-
preter uses preset values. If you don’t define the equation in a MathFullForm statement, an equation
prompt appears in the FrameMaker document.
