Can latex be used to make an 'arc' symbol.

 

I want to refer to arc AB, and put a curved line above AB.

 

Can you do that with latex?

 

Thank you

Have you checked out the Latex tutorial thread for any info there?

You mean something like: [math]\widehat{AB}[/math]?

You mean something like: [math]\widehat{AB}[/math']?

 

Yes, something like that. Is there something with a smoother curve?

Have you checked out the Latex tutorial thread for any info there?

 

I just looked at it, but didn't see a way to make a smooth arc.

Perhaps not quite what you're looking for, but it's smooth.

 

[MATH]

\substack{\frown\\ AB}

[MATH]

\overset{\frown}{AB}

[/MATH]

Thats a bit better.

 

Thank you very much.

 

Kind regards
