Re: Label: Superscript in square brackets

[Ansley Manke <ansley@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Nicolas,
How about this?  It seems there are two things you want to do
with formatting, and I don't see a way of doing both in the same text
string either.  You could do two labels on top of each other, one with
the superscript and one with the brackets.  This does not work with the
YLAB command but could be done as a LABEL which you position
yourself on the plot. It's not as convenient, as you have to figure out
where to put the label on. (I have not been particularly careful
to center it here.)  But for example:

plot/i=1:10/set i
ppl ylab
ppl plot

label/user 0.2, 5, 0,90,0.12, " W/m^2"
label/user 0.2, 5, 0,90,0.12, @AS[       ]
