Hi,
I am trying to insert a text label in a graph, the mean of variable ie "<d>". Except rather than use this notation I want to use the abbreviation of a line above the variable to indicate that it is a mean quantity. I cannot see any mechanism to do this. Is it possible to do so in Origin?
Thanks

I also discovered an escape sequence, \ab, that will overline multiple characters...

Great, that works fine.
Thanks for your help.

The symbol map (Ctrl+M) contains the overline character at the position shown below. Unfortunately, it only overlines one character at a time (see Text Control box at bottom).

No, sorry, I dont think I was very clear. I dont mean in terms of programming at all. A short line above a letter is a notation for the average of that quantity. Basically the opposite to an underline. So when I was talking about variables I just meant the letter referring to a variable.
Is there anyway of producing this overline effect?
Apologies for the conoclusion |

Hello:
I'm not sure what you are asking.
If you want to insert brackets <> into a text on a graph via the GUI you can call up the extended ASCII character set dialog window with Control+M.
If you are using Labtalk and the Label command then the following example will place <77> at pixel location x=150 & y=150.
label -d 150 150 \(60) 77 \(62);
where 60 and 62 are decimal value pointers into the extended ASCII character set.
Also not sure what you mean by: "abbreviation of a line above". Also need to know how line above was created.
Perhaps this is a start to solving your problem.

Hi Seamus,
Of course the user must define the abbreviation method. For example, if %A holds the full line then %A=%[%A,5] will reduce it to the first four letters. Is that the type of thing you are looking for?
