Dear all,
I'm using IDL NG, but I don't know how to put symbols like "perpendicular" (upside down T) and "parallel" (||) in annotations. In DG, I can do it, although not in a straightforward way. Is there an easy way to add those two symbols as subscripts in NG? Thanks.

Thank you very much, Paul and alx! I thought IDL 8 followed LaTeX and I kept trying \perp and \| for those symbols.

IDL> w=window()
IDL> p=text(0.3, 0.5,'$\bot$',font_size=20)
IDL> p=text(0.7, 0.5,'$\parallel$',font_size=20)
Subscripts follows the same latex format:
IDL> p=text(0.3, 0.2,'Hello$_\bot$',font_size=20)
IDL> p=text(0.7, 0.2,'there$_\parallel$',font_size=20)
For some reason IDL uses "\bot" rather than "\perp" for the
perpendicular symbol. Huh.
cheers,
paulv

Thank you, Paul. The \bot I would have never guessed! Haje
