Research & Development

Text, formulas, and graphics are fundamental mediums through which humans record, communicate, and disseminate civilization and scientific knowledge. Editing and inputting formulas and graphics are critical functions alongside text. However, despite the rapid development of the internet in the late 20th century, challenges remain in editing and inputting formulas and graphics online. Consequently, the internet still primarily relies on text and static images for communication, which significantly hampers advancements in education, network information architecture, and development in scientific research, engineering technology, and economic management.

In October 2009, our company successfully launched Web-GraphEdit, a web-based formula editing system compatible with various Internet Explorer browsers. This software allows users to edit and modify graphics online without the need for plug-ins, greatly facilitating communication, sharing, and professional interaction across disciplines via the internet.

Furthering our innovations, in October 2011, we introduced GraphEdit, a more versatile editing and calculation software. Its flexibility is evident in three main features:

  • The graphic data format is HTML, enabling both native offline functionality and online interactive sharing
  • It supports both hand-drawn designs and computational drawings derived from visual formulas and data tables
  • It facilitates online networking interactions and can be integrated into various standalone and networked application software as a client

Graphic editing, compared to formula editing, finds widespread application across nearly all aspects of work, life, production, education, technology, and publishing. Despite the plethora of graphic editing software available for local computers, long-standing issues with web-based graphic editing remain unresolved.

The prevailing method for creating and publishing web graphics involves using local software like Photoshop, Flash, or Matlab to create the artwork, then converting these into images in a specified format before uploading them to a web page. This approach has several drawbacks:

  • Network clients must install specific graphics editing software independently, which often requires professional skills and training
  • Commonly used design features in programs like Photoshop are incompatible with the computational functions needed in educational and scientific settings, such as those offered by Matlab. Consequently, users must install multiple pieces of software, which can be inconvenient due to differing operational methods and habits
  • Graphics created in popular editing programs must be converted to images and uploaded, complicating the process. These images can only be viewed online and do not support online editing or modification, nor do they facilitate graphics-based searches and recognition
  • The quality of images on web pages is dependent on file size, often requiring larger files for higher quality, which diminishes print quality
  • Web pages containing images load slowly, primarily due to image file sizes. These images not only consume significant server storage but also increase network bandwidth demands, escalating operational costs
