Superscript text in label

[maspiers]

I'd like to label some points with text which includes the units -
cubic metres, in this case - using a superscript. Is this possible? I
can't see any reference to this in the helpfile or in previous threads
here, and I can't see a superscript character anywhwere in Charmap.

Maspiers,
you can use ANSI codes. I.e. just type Alt+0179 for cubic exponent (³), or Alt+0179 for square exponent (²). ANSI Alt+0179 is the same than ASCII Alt+253. Remember those numbers must be from the numericpad keys.
Look for ANSI codes tables, so you can find the codes for °, ¼,½, ¾ and much more.

Superscript 2 - "squared" - is Chr$(178)

Superscript 3 - "cubed" - is Chr$(179)

If you need other superscript formatting, you're out of luck, even if you have a font full of superscripts. MapInfo doesn't allow mixing fonts in a single label, afaik.

What about subscripts???

Try compiling and running this:

 

include "mapbasic.def"

 

Declare sub Main
  
Sub Main
Dim i As integer

 

Print Chr$(12)

 

For i = 32 To 255
 Print "Chr$(" & i & ")=" & Chr$(i)
Next

 

End Sub

I'm using next 'trick' (you have image below):

1) Insert layer you want to label twice (blue filled square as reservoirs for this example)

2) For the first layer I set invisible symbol and Label it with upper left positon (name of the reservoir)

3) For the second layer I set regular symbol and Label it with lower left position (capacity of reservoir and elevation)

I forgot to say: for the second layer I'm using smaller font size for labels :)

Thanks. That's just what I needed.
