Kerned width: \the\wd0, height: \the\ht0, Here, then, is an MWE that uses the mtpro2 package to place a ridiculously wide tilde over both abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz and abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz (ooooh!). Put differently: Just because the mtpro package lets you create certain questionable things (such as super-tall summation symbols and super-wide tildes) doesn't mean that you have to do them. This warning applies not only to using super-tall summation symbols it certainly applies to super-wide tilde and hat symbols as well. thereby assuring yourself (as well as the designer of the MathTime fonts) the lasting enmity of journal editors everywhere. The font's creator issues the following warning regarding the use of such a symbol: First, though, some comments about this package: In addition to letting you do lots of really cool and useful things, this package also allows you create a summation symbol that's a full two inches (5 centimeters) tall. An MWE (minimum working example) that shows how to do this is given below.

Currently, the tilde graphics is just the standard tilde in the standard font, but you can probably create a graphics that's better suited.You could load the mtpro2 (Mathtime Pro 2) to generate superwide tildes. The tild also inherits basic style properties from its surroundings, such as font color and size. The basic idea is to stretch a tilde graphics expression to the correct width, and use that together with an OverScriptBox.

Here is one rather hacky solution: (* create a tilde graphics expression: *)įrontEndExecute[(* get the actual size of expr -> 1.4 -> Infinity, So don't suggest any alternative LaTeX editors, that's not what the question is about. I want to continue writing Mathematica notebooks having parts which look like theorems or proofs look in math text books, referring to that look loosely as "LaTeX" (parts of which might later be exported for publication), and this question is about how to make those parts look right. I am well aware that this is not an issue with LaTeX itself, and that other, better working LaTeX editors exist. Which looks just like the above (tilde only above "+", not whole). The corresponding LaTex expressions are \overline", TeXForm]]

I want that the tilde stretched out over the whole expression, not just a small tilde in the middle. No installation, real-time collaboration, version control, hundreds of LaTeX templates, and more. An online LaTeX editor that’s easy to use. (Of course I'm using cntrl-7 to type in the above) No installation, real-time collaboration, version control, hundreds of LaTeX templates, and more. I want to put a (long) tilde over an expression. I am (mis)using Mathematica as a WYSIWYG LaTex editor.
