DADiSP 6.0 B18 Release Notes

TeX Math & Greek Symbols


DADiSP supports a subset of TeX math and Greek symbols and formatting commands. For example:


 W1: 1..100;text(10,80,"e^{j\omegat} = cos(\omegat) + jsin(\omegat)")

places the expression for Euler's Formula in W1. TeX commands can be used in text functions, plot labels and units.

The following summarizes the current TeX support. Each example string can be used with the LABEL, SETXLABEL, SETYLABEL or TEXT functions. The {}'s are used to delimit TeX expressions.

TeX processing can be enabled or disabled with the TEX_PROCESSING configuration parameter. For example, setconf("TEX_PROCESSING", "0") disables TeX processing.

Greek Letters


The full Greek alphabet is supported using the following TeX escape strings:

Greek Letters

\alpha \beta \gamma \delta
\eta \epsilon \varepsilon \zeta
\vartheta \iota \kappa \lambda
\mu \nu \xi \o
\sigma \varsigma \tau \upsilon
\phi \varphi \chi \psi
\varpi \rho \theta \pi
\omega


The first letter of each expression can be capitalized to obtain the upper case letter:

\Alpha, \Beta, \Gamma, etc.

Examples:


  "\alpha and \Omega"

  "\nu = c / \lambda"

  "y(t} = cos(2\pift + \theta)" 

Symbols


A large number of math and engineering symbols are supported with the following TeX escape strings:

Superscript and Subscript


Superscript and subscripts are specified with the ^ and _ characters.

Examples:


  "E = mc^2"

  "P(x) = a_0 + a_1x + a_2x^2 + a_3x^3"

  "\alpha^{\lambda_0 + \lambda_1}"

Fractions


A fraction with a horizontal separator is specified by the following function:

Fractions


  \frac{num}{den}


Examples:


  "\frac{1}{2}"

  "\frac{a^2 + b^2}{a^2 _ b^2}"

  "\Phi_x(\omega) \equiv \frac{|X(e^{j\omega})|^2}{\pi}"
