Hi, but you don't mean the greek mu, you mean a micro and that is SetOptions[Plot, Frame -> True, FrameLabel -> "Wavelength (\[Micro]m)"]; Regards Jens Jeff Lawlis wrote: > Problem: use of ColorFunction affects spacing of Greek characters in Frame label. > > Here is a simple example of the problem: > > SetOptions[Plot, Frame -> True, FrameLabel -> "Wavelength (\[Mu]m)"] > Plot[y = x, {x, 1, 1000}, > ColorFunction -> (ColorData["VisibleSpectrum"][#] &), > ColorFunctionScaling -> False, Filling -> Axis] > > Notice the space between the Greek character \[Mu] and the m, causing the m to overlap the right parantheses. The space disappears if you remove the ColorFunction gradient from the plot parameters. Also, if you change \[Mu] to a standard character like m, the formatting looks perfectly acceptable. To be honest, I don't really understand the reason for the [#] & following the ColorData tag, but the gradient doesn't seem to work properly without it. Is my syntax correct? >
