or any other liberary that you know of
to display math fomulas

What does displaying mathematical formulas have to do with your choice of IDE?

If you want to use LaTeX (or TeX) from a Qt program then you can run it using QProcess (i.e. run latex then dvi2png and use the resulting PNG file).

Use someone else's code to do a similar thing:

Qwt has some MathML support for its graphs

why you keep answering by "what does it have to do with qtcreator.."
can't i just ask a question about c++ in general ?

and i really appreciate your efforts answering my question

I ask because this a Qt forum and you have asked a non-Qt question or because the question you have asked indicates potential confusion. I hope the question prompts you to think about why I might ask it.

In this case, Qt Creator is an IDE, not a library or language, so it makes little sense to ask what libraries could be used to display mathematical formulas with it. Qt is a library. C++ is the language. You can use C++ with or without Qt to write a program to display mathematical formulas; this does not necessarily involve Qt Creator in any way.

Hi karim24,

If you want to ask general C++ questions, we recommend posting to the -"C++ Gurus subforum (http://qt-project.org/forums/viewforum/36/ )-. This is the "General and Desktop" subforum, which is for general Qt questions.

Well... that forum is really aimed at the guru-type of questions. Not your average beginner C++ question. If you want to ask pure C++ questions (even after you have searched for an answer yourself), I'd recommend a dedicated C++ or general programming channel. The fact that most people use Qt with its native C++ API and thus know and use C++ doesn't mean it is ok to post general C++ questions here.

Good point, Andre.

Use somewhere like "Stack Overflow":http://stackoverflow.com/ for general C++ questions.
