Using the SYMBOL Font in Plot Commands
|
|
|
•
|
To use Greek letters in a plot command, for instance to label the axes, set the appropriate font option to SYMBOL. Then, when you enter a letter, the corresponding Greek letter is used. For example, enter "r" for "rho", and  is displayed.

In this example, we set the label font for the plot to SYMBOL and label the axes  and  .
|
|
>
|
plot(sin(r), r=0..3, labels=["r", "Y(r)"], labelfont=[SYMBOL]);

You can also use typeset math in a plot command to enter 2-D math, including Greek symbols, anywhere in a plot where text is allowed. See plot/typesetting for details.
