I have added the ability to use Greek characters as subscripts or
superscripts to the Coyote Library. In this example, you would formulate
the text like this, using the "\\" symbol to indicate the Greek letter
to be used:

cgPlot, cgDemoData(1), XTitle='$\Omega$$\sub\\lambda$', Charsize=2.0

To create a superscript, you could do this:

cgPlot, cgDemoData(1), XTitle='$\Omega$$\up\\lambda$', Charsize=2.0

You will need to update your cgCheckForSymbols program:
