Hi there,
I want to create plots with some kind of 'complex' axis labelling of the
form
$\dot{V}$ and integrate those plots into a LaTeX document. What is the best
way to go?
I've figured out, that the 'plotmath' commands are somewhat limited
(at least
I wasn't able to get the $\dot{V}$ generated) and that plots with
'plotmath'-axes wouldn't export properly with pictex() or xfig().
Therefore,
I've done the following:
o use postscript() to create myfig.eps
o pstoedit -f fig myfig.eps myfig.fig
o xfig 011214C.fig
include $\dot{V}$
export: Combined PS/LaTeX (both parts)
o within my latex document:
\input{myfig.pstex_t}
Is this a proper approach?
I am looking forward to your response
Tobias

It looks like you've got a reasonable workaround. From a quick glance it actually looks to me (if the dot-accent is all that stands between you and one-step graphical output) that the "right" thing to do is to add a dot() expression, analogous to tilde() and hat(), to the set of available plotmath commands (plotmath's spacing isn't flexible enough to hack a dot accent -- atop() leaves too much space). If no-one better qualified steps forward, I could try to hack it.

If only you will be the primary consumer of the resulting latex file, then this will be sufficient. If the file will be submitted to a journal or some other source requiring a more "vanilla" set of latex commands (e.g. no pstricks), you can create a separate latex document whose sole purpose is to add the labeling that you need and create an EPS that can be integrated into other latex documents using more standard commands.

Try this sort of thing:
plot(..., xlab='vdot', ...)
and then, in the LaTeX document,
\usepackage{psfrag}
...
\begin{figure}
\psfrag{vdot}{$\dot{V}$}
\epsfig{...}
\end{figure}
