Greek Characters when using TeXtoIDL [message #65302] Tue, 24 February 2009 06:17

I'm trying to add text to a figure that has within it the Greek
character delta. The delta is included within the text as a second
level subscript. I browsed the web for its usage and found Matt
Craig's posting at http://www.physics.wisc.edu/~craigm/idl/archive/msg00046.htm l,
very useful. Unfortunately, even though i'm using the latest version
of TeXtoIDL (with IDL 5.2), i'm having difficulty producing any Greek
characters with this routine and even with standard syntax. I read up
on Greek characters and their usage elsewhere (D. Fanning book) but
have still been none the wiser. Thanks for any help.

Latex syntax for text: R_{0^{-}_{\delta F}1}
Corresponding IDL string: R!D0!S!E-!R!I!7d!X F1!N

The text that is added to the graphic, however, subsubscripts a "d"
instead of delta and includes the following 1 at this depth also. I
would want the following 1 to be promoted to the first subscript level
like the 0.

Hope i've been clear,
Robert.
