Hello, I want to export some graphics containing mathematical signs as strings, e.g. "+". Mathematica does not show the " in plots, and that's good. However, when I use Export, the " appear. On the other hand, selecting the graphics, using the menu entry File->Save Selection as ... works fine, i.e. no " are shown. Let me give a simplified example: X="+" a; Export["~/test.pdf", X] This produces a pdf with "+" a in it, but I want + a. The reason I use strings is that I do not want M to calculate things, as it would do otherwise. (If anybody knows how to use + signs without M calculating, my problem would also be solved.) So how can I export something similar to the Save Selection as ... command, but with an executable command like Export? Are there any options suppressing " for strings? Thanks in advance, Markus Huber
