writing negative exponents in graph axis titles<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />I frequently need to use negative exponents to express units like grams per cubic centimeter g cm^-3 and so on in axis titles, labels etc. How can I do this in JMP? I've found no satisfying answer to this question online. Is there a scripting workaround?
Thanks!
Re: writing negative exponents in graph axis titlesYou can enter the character on Windows with the ALT key in hex mode. This website has helpful instructions and codes for characters by name: http://www.fileformat.info/tip/microsoft/enter_unicode.htm
The Alt key must remain pressed while typing all the characters.
superscript minus: Alt +207B (the "+" needs to be typed but not the space)
superscript 3: Alt +00B3
Re: writing negative exponents in graph axis titlesIt's kind of clunky and I don't know how robust this would be, but in a pinch you can use the list of exponents in Xan's post as a sort of pallet to copy from and paste into, say, a JMP column name.
Re: writing negative exponents in graph axis titlesIt would indeed be enough if it actually worked. JMP does not recognize keyboard Unicode, but it does ASCII. So I can get positive exponents with ACSII but not negatives because ASCII has no code for these. Would be nice of JMP developers to provide sub- and superscript options in the font dialog like everyone else.
Re: writing negative exponents in graph axis titlesUnicode has numeric superscript and subscript characters, which might be enough in this case, assuming your font supports those characters. For example, "g cm⁻³". The superscripts: ⁰ ¹ ² ³ ⁴ ⁵ ⁶ ⁷ ⁸ ⁹ ⁺ ⁻ ⁼ ⁽ ⁾.
