Discussion Overview
The discussion revolves around finding a vertical subset symbol in LaTeX, specifically one that points upwards and another that points downwards. Participants explore various approaches to achieve this, including the use of the rotating package for LaTeX.
Discussion Character
- Technical explanation, Conceptual clarification, Debate/contested, Homework-related
Main Points Raised
- One participant inquires about a vertical subset symbol equivalent to \subseteq that points upwards and downwards.
- Another participant suggests that the symbols for union and intersection, \cup and \cap, might be relevant, though the original poster clarifies they are not suitable.
- The original poster explains the need for a commutative diagram using subset symbols instead of arrows, indicating the requirement for symbols that allow for equality.
- A suggestion is made to use the rotating package in LaTeX to achieve the desired effect.
- Further inquiry arises regarding how to implement the rotating package and whether there is a specific function for rotating symbols.
- Links to resources are provided to assist with using the rotating package.
- The original poster expresses difficulty in getting the rotating package to work, noting that symbols do not rotate as expected, despite no error messages appearing.
- Another participant proposes that the issue might be related to the DVI viewer not recognizing the rotation, suggesting conversion to PS or PDF for proper viewing.
Areas of Agreement / Disagreement
Participants do not reach a consensus on the best method to achieve the vertical subset symbol, and multiple approaches are discussed without resolution.
Contextual Notes
There are limitations regarding the functionality of the rotating package and potential viewer compatibility issues that remain unresolved.
