I was trying to name the x and y axis in my plot. I downloaded the cgSymbols but I can only add Greek letters. I used LaTex style to perform the names of the axis but I couldn't find out the power symbol I tried $x^2$ but it doesn't work.

Look at
http://www.idlcoyote.com/cg_tips/embedsymbols.php
and try
IDL> cgplot,indgen(10),xtit='x$\up2$'

If you want to use the LaTex symbols instead look at

LaTeX capability was introduced in NG functions:

pl = plot(indgen(10), XTITLE='$x^{2+z}$')
