LaTeX support and equation transformations

Increasing access

I would like to request support for rendering LaTeX mathematical equations in p5.js.

It would also be very useful to have an API for smoothly transforming one mathematical equation into another, similar to the TransformMatchingTex functionality in Manim.

For example, being able to transform:

x² + y² = 1

into:

y² = 1 - x²

while keeping matching parts of the equations visually connected would make p5.js much more useful for mathematical and educational animations.

I think native or officially supported mathematical typesetting and equation transformations could be useful for people creating educational videos, physics/mathematics visualizations, and other mathematical animations with p5.js.

Most appropriate sub-area of p5.js?

• Accessibility
• Color
• Core/Environment/Rendering
• Data
• DOM
• Events
• Image
• IO
• Math
• Typography
• Utilities
• WebGL
• Build process
• Unit testing
• Internationalization
• Friendly errors
• Other (specify if possible)

Feature request details

I don't currently have an implementation; I am suggesting this as a feature that the p5.js community could consider.

Start by separating the requested LaTeX equation rendering from equation-to-equation transformation and reviewing p5.js's existing rendering and typography capabilities. The issue names no files, tests, or entry points; work is complete only after the scope, API design, and expected behavior for both capabilities are defined and implemented.
