I am looking to create a system to take a function in a Swing GUI, parse it, and produce a graphical result. This includes using such unicodes as Sigma and Omega to be read into a Swing Component (currently I have a JFormattedTextField). The most ideal is to highlight and copy from a file a complex function and to paste it into the textfield. I have not been successful. I also wanted the code to 'recognize' such symbols, but that has not gone well either. Does anyone know the best approach to doing this? I have an interface currently that cannot handle this as yet.
