Latex expresssion in Scilab
apuapu
I am using Scilab for research and would like to label the axes using Greek
sybmols. Similar to MATLAB where you could set the interpreter to latex and
enclose the expression with $ signs.
Such as: $\alpha_1$.
Can this be done in Scilab ?
Right now I am just using:
xstring(0.52,14,'alpha_1');
which looks mighty ugly.

First, add in your label the following formula:
xstring(0.52,14,'\tex{$alpha_1$}');
Then export your figure in eps
in the latex preamble, add
\usepackage{psfrag}
\psfragscanon
and the label will be translated into latex formula.

... but only if the eps is inserted into a LaTeX document, right?
It would be much better to have some LaTeX commands interpreted by
scilab graphics directly, see request 122 (http://
requestzilla.scilab.org/show_bug.cgi?id=122), open since almost two
years...

Even worse, it's open since almost FOUR years (last modification was
two years ago)!!

Well, it is a request...
Btw, Scilab is open-source and now free, you can submit a patch to
introduce this feature (I promise that I will take some time to watch
your patch and incorporate it in the trunk).

Yes, but since the question arises regularly in the newsgroup, and
since MATLAB has this feature for a long time, wouldn't it be worth
considering even if it is ONLY a request...?

If I had the time and the knowledge to do it (I am not familiar with
the scilab source code), I would certainly do it.
In fact what we would need is the possibility to change fonts within a
graphics string to allow for superscript, subscript and greek letters.
Would it really be that hard to implement?

I was hoping to include graphs from Scilab in my PowerPoint (gasp)
presentation. Guess I'll just go with MATLAB for now.
