TeX - LaTeX Asked by StiggyStardust on May 21, 2021
In physics, it’s sometimes useful to draw an arrow over a letter to represent the torch around that point. I’ve seen this in multiple textbooks and would like to know how to do it myself in LaTeX documents. Anyone who knows a solution for this?
Note that this isn’t just about putting a curverarrow above a letter, but surrounding the letter by the curved arrow like in the picture I attached below.
Thanks in advance for the help and have a good day 🙂
Something like this, with the nccircle
command from pst-node
?
documentclass[12pt]{article}
usepackage{pst-node}
begin{document}
psset{arrowinset=0.1}
$psDefBoxNodes{A}{A}nccircle[nodesep =5pt]{->}{A:bC}{0.6em}$%
end{document}

You could use curvearrowleft
from AMS Symbols, e.g.:
documentclass{article}
usepackage{amssymb}
newcommand{curvearrow}[1]{ooalign{kern1pt ensuremath{#1}crhidewidthraise.8exhbox{$curvearrowleft$}hidewidth}}
begin{document}
$curvearrow{a}, curvearrow{b}, curvearrow{c}$
end{document}
Perhaps you have to tweak the distances, e.g. to cover capital letters.

Not sure if this looks too appealing but maybe this goes in the right direction.
documentclass{article}
usepackage{mathtools}
usepackage{amssymb}
usepackage{scalerel}
newcommandOverCurveArrowRight[2][n]{%
setbox0hbox{scalerel*{curvearrowright}{overset{#1}{#2}}}copy0%
mathllap{mathmakebox[wd0]{#2hskip0.2wd0}}}
newcommandOverCurveArrowLeft[2][n]{%
setbox0hbox{scalerel*{curvearrowleft}{overset{#1}{#2}}}copy0%
mathllap{mathmakebox[wd0]{hskip0.2wd0#2}}}
begin{document}
abc $OverCurveArrowRight{A}$ $OverCurveArrowLeft{A}$
[OverCurveArrowRight{A}toOverCurveArrowLeft{A}]
[OverCurveArrowRight[int]{int}toOverCurveArrowLeft{A}]
end{document}

Starting from the code of the answer of the user @egreg in this question How to write a character overlapping another character I have adapted this using the packages graphicx
, scalerel
to have a little big arrow and to rotate the symbol circlearrowleft
of 170 degrees (for example).
documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article}
usepackage{newtxtext,newtxmath}
usepackage{graphicx,scalerel}
makeatletter
DeclareRobustCommand{as}[1]{
{vphantom{#1}mathpaletteerel@as{#1}}%
}
newcommand{cla}{rotatebox[origin=c]{170}{hstretch{1}{$scaleobj{1.5}{circlearrowleft}$}}}
newcommand{erel@as}[2]{%
ooalign{hfil$m@th#1cla$hfilcrhfil$m@th#1#2$hfilcr}%
}
makeatother
begin{document}
$as{A}$
end{document}
