- I am currently using MATLAB-4.0 on SPARC station. I mainly use it
- for scientific plotting. But I have some problem in writing Greek
- letters in the figure. Does anybody know how to do it in MATLAB?
- Maybe at least using Latex.
-
- Along with this, how to change the default 'font' and 'linewidth' etc?
-
- The font issue has been addressed in Matlab version 4.0a (released
- 11-Dec-92). Matlab now has extra graphic handles, including FontName,
- FontBold, FontSpacing,FontSize, FontItalic, FontUnderline,
- FontStrikeThrough, FontShadow, and FontOutline. This does not help
- with the mixing roman and greek characters in the same string.
-
- I insert greek characters into LaTeX, by saving the matlab file as
- Encapuslated PostScript, then reading the file into IslandDraw, which
- can read and graphically edit PostScript files. I then save the file
- as EPS from IslandDraw, and insert that file into LaTeX. (This has
- the additional advantage that you get the correct BoundingBox.)
-
- It would be nice when matlab finally manages to generate a legal
- Encapsulated PostScript file.
-
- Currently it is not possible to set the linewidth in matlab
- (MarkerSize yes). I've grumbled at MathWorks about this limitation.
