Superscripts in IDL [x-y]title [message #13477]

Hello,

Just did (tried to do) a search on dejanews to see if I could find
this there and got not hits. So here goes.

My co-author on a paper would like to see superscripts in the axis
titles of simple 2-d plots, e.g. instead of something like cm**-3 ot
have cm^{-3} - using TeX notation.

I am using PS fonts so I think there must be a way to do this. Is
there any way to get IDL to do it directly? I suppose I could do it in
POSTSCRIPT but I don't really know PS and don't have time to learn it
right now. At least I think I don't - perhaps the same thing? <G>

Any suggestions? TIA

Regards,

Henry Smith

Only if you are using Hershey fonts. Use a Font object set up
to use Hershey fonts and be sure you enable embedded formatting codes
by setting the ENABLE_FORMATTING keyword on the text object.

Cheers,

David
