The {UNICODE} text
command places special characters into the text and accepts any of
the following for its argument(s):
-
a hexadecimal Unicode Code Point
for a character (for example,
"03B1"x)
-
a reserved keyword for a commonly
used code point (for example,
beta)
-
a dynamic that resolves to a hexadecimal
value or keyword.
See the tables in
Reserved Keywords and Unicode Values for a list
of the reserved keywords and Unicode values (the tables are not complete,
but give a good idea about what is possible).
Multiple arguments can
be used within the scope of a single UNICODE text command. For example,
the following two specifications are equivalent:
{unicode "03b1"x beta}
{unicode "03b1"x} {unicode beta}
The default formatting
for the UNICODE text is derived from the GraphUnicodeText style element.
In the following example,
if _ALPHAVAL is an existing dynamic that resolves to the value
0.05,
then the following ENTRY specification generates this text:
entry {unicode alpha} " = " _ALPHAVAL;
By combining the TEXTATTRS=
prefix option with the {SUB} and {UNICODE} text commands, you can
generate the following text:
Entry textattrs=(style=italic) "E(Y)" textattrs=() " = "
{unicode beta} {sub "0"} " + "
{unicode beta} {sub "1"} "x" {sub "1"}
" + " {unicode beta} {sub "2"} "x" {sub "2"};
