AW: st: RE: Help with superscript in graphs

Only StataCorp can answer the question posed by Nick Winter conclusively, but as -help alignmentstyle- explains the alignments with a reference to a capital "H", the following picture makes sense:


*************
sysuse auto, clear
regress mpg price
local r2 : di %04.3f e(r2)
graph twoway (scatter mpg price) (lfit mpg price) /* 
*/ , legend(off)  /* 
*/ text(35  13000 "Hr{superscript:2} =  `r2'", box) /* 
*/ name(mygr3, replace) nodraw note("default alignment")

graph twoway (scatter mpg price) (lfit mpg price) /* 
*/ , legend(off)  /* 
*/ text(35  13000 "Hr{superscript:2} =  `r2'", box  /* 
*/ alignment(bottom)) /* 
*/ name(mygr4, replace) nodraw note("bottom alignment")

graph twoway (scatter mpg price) (lfit mpg price) /* 
*/ , legend(off)  /* 
*/ text(35  13000 "Hr{superscript:2} =  `r2'", box  /* 
*/ alignment(top)) /* 
*/ name(mygr5, replace) nodraw note("top alignment")

graph twoway (scatter mpg price) (lfit mpg price) /* 
*/ , legend(off)  /* 
*/ text(35  13000 "Hr{superscript:2} =  `r2'", box  /* 
*/ alignment(baseline) ) /* 
*/ name(mygr6, replace) nodraw note("baseline alignment")

graph combine mygr3 mygr4 mygr5 mygr6, rows(2)
*************


The "r" character is probably special in that it does not have a "lower part".

Good question. You expect me to know all the answers?

*why* does that work?  That is, why is the superscripted text moved down 
more than the non-superscripted?
