Thread Subject: latex boldsymbol

Hi Y'All,

I'm having problem making $\boldsymbol{x}$ work.

I get: "Warning: Unable to interpret TeX string"

Smile,

Ci

That's because \boldsymbol is not part of latex, but is in the amsbsy
package which is not loaded by the MATLAB version of latex.

Does \mathbf do what you want?

  $\mathbf{x}$

Thanks Doug,

I also thought that only "common" latex packages are loaded in Matlab. I wonder how we could load other packages.

Actually, I'm currently using $\mathbf{x}$, but it does not give the italic bold format, which $\boldsymbol{x}$ does.

Hi,

Do you still want to display $\boldsymbol{x}$ in matlab using latex interpreter.
Recently, I have figured out how to display amsfonts correctly in matlab with latex interpreter.
The trick is as follows
    - Declare package which consists latex font to be used in the class file "mwarticle.cls" inside the folder
$matlabroot/sys/tex/
 %% matlabroot is the Root directory of your MATLAB.
For example,
\RequirePackage{amsfonts,amssymb}
 
  - Add paths for your latex fonts to matlab path for Tex and Latex which can be retrieved: texpath = getappdata(0,'TeXPath');
  
   - For Windows, load pfb and pfm font files using the mex function loadfonts.

Huy,
Where is the loadfonts program?
Please provide more details on how to update the texpath and use loadfonts.

Oscar,

"loadfonts" is a Matlab function.

I describe an alternative way to load latex fonts in matlab at the following link
