Re: small graphical question

and I"m not sure how far you'll get with raw richtext either, if you need
more than the simplest math.

I"d look at matplotlib -- it has a mini TeX implementation for math -- you
could probably use it to make bitmaps of the Math, and render those inline
with text in a RichTextControl.

Or, if this doesn't need to be dynamic, use TeX, or MPL, or a browser
option (MAthML and MathJAX, or ...) for making images of the math.
