Adjust subscript style / height

Hi all,

I'm trying to get 'neat' subscripts in the axes labels of a plot. I'd like to use the standard tex interpreter, as most of my figures are already using it, but the subscript style doesn't look good IMO:

I'd like the subscripted 'n' to not be completely below the 't' but rather have its upper end somewhere close to the t's middle.

Changing the interpreter to latex does exactly what I want, but it changes the font not only of the characters in question, but of the whole axis label as well as putting it in cursive:

Is there any way to adjust the subscript's height with the tex interpreter?

Best regards

Sebastian

I'm still searching for a solution. Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.

You can get roman or italic using \mathrm{} or \mathit{} respectively. And you can use both \mathrm{} and \mathit{} to get the effect of both regular and italic

figure
text(0.1,0.5,'$\mathrm{A_n}$','FontSize',16,'Interpreter','latex')
text(0.2,0.5,'$\mathit{A_n}$','FontSize',16,'Interpreter','latex')
text(0.3,0.5,'$\mathrm{A} \mathit{_n}$','FontSize',16,'Interpreter','latex')

use the following after the plot command

 xlabel("y_{" + n + "}", 'Interpreter', 'tex') %for alphabet

and

 xlabel(" \Omega_{" + n + "}", 'Interpreter', 'tex') %for special charcters

That does not seem to answer my question.

I already know how to put subscripts into a label and how to change the interpreter. My question was regarding the style of the subscript, especially its position relative to the rest of the string.

Hi sebastian

I hope this is still useful. I use diffenrent text heights in the same label sing this code:

ylabel(['\fontsize{12} Normalized strength (F\fontsize{10} R\fontsize{12} /F\fontsize{10} Rmax \fontsize{12})'],'fontweight','bold')
