Formatting DIGLIB Symbols in LaTeX Documents
When using the LaTeX editor, you can use the DIGLIB symbols in texts and in figures. This then refers to the corresponding LaTeX symbols (closest to those DIGLIB symbols which are plotted on a plot using the DATAPLOT Graphical Language) in the texts of LaTeX documents for publications/reports.
This topic shows how to generate some DIGLIB symbols in texts, through the attached LaTeX source file and its converted jpg file.
DIGLIB_Sym.tex
\documentclass[dvips,12pt]{article}
\textwidth 165mm
\textheight 225mm
\oddsidemargin 1mm
\evensidemargin 1mm
\topmargin 1mm

%% next replace amssymb and to get udtimes

\usepackage{rotating}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage{graphics}
\usepackage{graphicx,subfigure}% with figures
%\usepackage[draft]{graphicx}% without figures

{\Large \bf Diglib symbols and their corresponding LaTeX symbols}
\vspace{5mm}
The information below gives the closest corresponding LaTeX symbol. All symbols (except +) must be generated in math mode. Most of these require the package amssymb, i.e., you need a directive usepackage{amssymb} in the preamble. Two of the symbols require the more extensive mathdesign that can be included with usepackage[utopia]{mathdesign}.
