I am trying to write something on a plot, and using \sqrt{} in latex mode in legend() function
produces somewhat annoying appearence - sqrt feature crosses power index: it can be seen in the example below.
p=plot([0,1],[0,1],name='best fit function 2.35w$\sqrt{N^2 + EF\slash w}$')
legend=legend(target=[p],pos=[0.8,0.3])
Anyone knows how to fix that?
I am using idl8.3 in this case.

You can make the exponent smaller with the !E positioning command
p=plot([0,1],[0,1],name='best fit function 2.35w$\sqrt{N!E2!N + EF\slash w}$')
though it still overlaps the square root top bar.
I'd probably just write out "SQRT( )" rather than make the symbol. --Wayne

Another solution might be to write: 2.35w$\{N^2 + EF\slash w}^{1/2}$
