Hello Rene,
here's what I do (for simplicity using hsimple.C from the ROOT tutorials):
MacBookPro-2:Desktop anncecil$ root -l
root [0] .x hsimple.C
hsimple : Real Time = 3.81 seconds Cpu Time = 0.55 seconds
Note: File "/sw/lib/root/libCore.so" already loaded
(class TFile*)0x3b9f810
root [1]
2) Then, I choose View => Editor in the TCanvas
3) I click on, e.g., the y axis and get the yaxis::TAxis dialog box on the left in the TCanvas
4) I try to type E_{#gamma} in the Title but what I get is E_(#gamma) (normal parentheses)
To invoke the curly bracket, I type Alt+Shift+8. This works everywhere
else where I have tried.
Is there another way to do it?
By the way, I now tried to copy and paste the text string "E_{#gamma}"
into the Title box, but this
does not work either, it seems not to be possible to paste into this
box.
Many thanks for helping!
Best regards,
Cecilie
