In summary, the conversation discusses how to assign Greek indices in Jaxo Draw. The suggested method is to use TeX boxes and type the desired indices using LaTeX formatting. It is also recommended to use the LaTex-> EPS export option for a cleaner display in papers. A viewer for viewing the exported EPS file can be obtained from a specific website.

I use Jaxo occasionally. For greek indices you need to use the TeX boxes. ("Draw a LaTeX text").

Then you place it (Youll probably have to rearrange it as it draws the text off a little).

Then in the box you type what you want, greek indices are done as in LaTeX such as:

- i e Q_{\ell} \gamma^{\mu}

for [itex]
- i e Q \gamma^{\mu} [/itex]

Now that we have that you have to decide how you want it to display. For papers, I tried to do it as a (Export) LaTex-> EPS . This draws the tex into the eps rather than a separate LaTeX file.

One you have the .eps you can put it in your paper/etc.

If you need a viewer/etc get one here http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/index.htm
