Math equations on black background

-1

I am preparing a PowerPoint presentation and I need to include mathematical notations. I don't think that Microsoft Equation is able to print in white. I can write my equations in MathJax but it doesn't solve my problem, how can I visualize MathJax code in white?

The only solution I can think of is to take a snapshot of the equation (either written in MathJax or with Microsoft Equation) and inverse the color with Photoshop or something similar but 1) it is a pain (I have many equations to write) and 2) it is probably not very complicated but right now I would not be able to inverse the colors on a picture.

What is the best solution? Is there a nice software that would allow me to create math equations in white?

Changing the background color of my PowerPoint presentation will not be considered as a solution :)

Why not have a black box behind the equation. It'll accomplish the same thing. – wbeard52 – 2015-02-27T04:50:27.390

Thks for your comment. What is a black box? Do you just mean a black square? I am aiming to write the equation in white over a black background. Adding a white square behind the equation would not be a satisfactory solution as it ruins the design of my slides! – Remi.b – 2015-02-27T04:55:00.423

A quick search for mathjax + color reveals a bunch of relevant results!

How about taking a snapshot and then inverting the colors?

For example, you can use MathType to type your equations, and Paint or Photoshop to invert the snapshot colors.

You can also use LaTeX, which is of course the most sophisticated way.

Thank you for your answer. Yes I thought about that (see the second paragraph of my question) but I feel (as I said above) that it would be a pain to have to do that for any single equation. I hope something easier and faster would exist, so that I don't have to use 3 different programs and I don't have to be scared to lose image quality at any single step. I have about 50 equations to write on my slides (and will probably have more equations to write down in the future). I didn't know about MathType though. I will definitely have a look to this software – Remi.b – 2015-02-27T15:08:36.760
