MagicPlot provides accurate typography in text labels and axes labels. You may toggle some features in 'Typography' tab of MagicPlot Preferences.
MagicPlot supports Latin ligatures in text labels. If you type 'fi', 'fl', etc., those symbols will be shown with ligature glyphs when you exit edit mode.
MagicPlot supports the following ligatures:
fi
, fl
ff
, ffi
, ffl
Not all fonts contain ligature glyphs. MagicPlot will display ligatures only if the glyphs are included in used font. You can turn the ligatures off in MagicPlot preferences.
The numbers in scientific notation need two special characters if you want the typography to be accurate: minus sign and multiplication sign. Many graphing software applications which use simplified typography use letter 'x' and hyphen-minus (-) in numbers instead of typographically correct special characters. This simplified typography was mainly used in old applications which do not support Unicode.
MagicPlot can use either correct symbols (default) or simplified. You can change this option in MagicPlot Properties.
The multiplication sign is different in various languages. In most cases you have to use either '·' or '×' sign. You also can specify any special character or character sequence, for example enter spaces before and after multiplication signs.
Multiplication sign Correct minus sign |
|
Middle dot Correct minus sign |

Simplified typography: Latin letter 'x' hyphen-minus instead of minus |
'U+XXXX' refers to Unicode code point.
