org.das2.util.LatexToGranny

public class LatexToGranny
extends java.lang.Object

Lightweight converter for LaTeX expressions to Granny strings, for the MMS mission. This handles strings like:

• cm^{-3}
• nA/m^{2}
• \rho^2 + 2\Gamma_{ij}
• \sqrt{a + b} (This is not handled by the IDL library either.)

The IDL project that minimally specifies is: TeXtoIDL, at http://physics.mnstate.edu/craig/textoidl/
