[Sea-mat] Math - text in Matlab

[Allen, Art]

Dimitris,

This is a good question, "What TeX characters can be used by Matlab?"

The manual suggest that you "See the text String property for a list of
available TeX characters."   Of course, the manual provide zero =
guidance on
how to do that!

Since, I am using Matlab Release 12, I followed this sequence in the =
Help
menu.


Using Matlab
        Graphics
              Axes Properties
                  Labeling and Appearance Properties
                        Creating Axes with Specific Characteristics
                            Text
                                  String


and found the following information and table which is partially =
reproduce
here as a list, which does not include your overline. Sorry.


String                       string

The text string. Specify this property as a quoted string for =
single-line
strings, or as a cell array of strings or a
padded string matrix for multiline strings. MATLAB displays this string =
at
the specified location. Vertical slash
characters are not interpreted as linebreaks in text strings, and are =
drawn
as part of the text string. See the
"Remarks" section for more information.

When the text Interpreter property is Tex (the default), you can use a
subset of TeX commands
embedded in the string to produce special characters such as Greek =
letters
and mathematical symbols. The
following table lists these characters and the character sequence used =
to
define them.

Dear sea-mat members,

this is my first mail to the list, so first of
all I have to introduce muself. My name is Dimitris
Tsoulis and I work in geodesy and gravity field
modelling in particular. I use Matlab, as a standard
tool not only for graphs but for numerical
computations
as well.

My question is:

What TeX-alike structures are permissible in Matlab?
For example, I want to write in the xlabel of a figure
'\overline{P}_{nm}', but it doesn't work. However,
'P_{nm}' works out fine, which leaves me with the
question.

Thanks in advance for your help.

best regards

Dimitris
