Question:
How do I write the chemical symbol of Water and Sulfuric Acid in Tecplot
10?
Answer:
H<sub>2</sub>O
H<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4</sub>
Use Version 10's new HTML-like formatting. Tecplot's new formatting
allows you to use underscores, upcarets, tildes, and so fourth without
worrying that they will be used for formatting. You can also nest formatting
rules and string blocks of characters together without repeatedly supplying
the formatting lead-in character.
Another option is to allow older Tecplot formatting. You can change
this on the fly in Tecplot's Miscellaneous Preferences dialog. You can
optionally put the following in your tecplot.cfg file:
$!Compatibility AllowOldTextFormatting = Yes
Normally Tecplot will auto convert old text formatting for you if you
are processing layouts, stylesheets, or data files. There are some instances
where the auto converting will not work (like when an old macro is included
in a new macro, or when an old Tecplot Add-on is supplying a label to
Tecplot). For those cases, or if you just prefer to use the old formatting,
you can choose to allow the old formatting.
Note: The newer enhanced options are still available if you choose
to allow old text formatting. The only downside is that you must escape
(i.e. use the backslash character) for all of the old formatting lead-in
text characters to see them in your plot. |
