Tools=>LaTeX Formula ConfigurationΒΆ

(TeX is a typesetting system designed and mostly written by Donald E. Knuth. LaTeX is a typesetting system by Leslie Lamport, using TeX.))

With this command LaTeX formulas can be defined. The LaTeX formulas are stored in a text file. The field function @f{latex} can be used to display the LaTeX formula in a Text object.

Each LaTeX text formula consists of a name followed by an equal sign, followed by the formula text enclosed in double dollar characters. Example:

m_dot = $$dot{m}$$

The formula text can be multiline. For multiline formulas, the next line must start with a space. The file can contain any number of formulas. A comments begins with a # sign.

Comment

When closing with OK, a PNG file is created for each LaTeX formula in the UniPlot user directory in the directory LaTexCache. The file names are saved in _g().oLatex.

To insert the field function into a table cell, double click the cell and then press the button Insert field function. In the dialog box, select the @f{latex} field function. Choose a formula from the right list.
