To be adapted to version 2.00 – see Unicode.
Sometimes we would like to use in Pajek's picture some characters from unusual alphabets (special symbols, Cyrillic, Greek, Arabic, Chinese, …). They are available in Unicode, but unfortunately Pajek doesn't support it.
Here is a way around:
*.NET
file. Use the U tool (Unicode table) to enter the Unicode characters.File/Save as/ASCII plus decimal NCR
we transform it into an ASCII file in which the Unicode characters are represented using numeric codes &#dddd;
. This file is used in Pajek 1.27 (or higher) to produce picture. The picture is exported in the SVG format.
File/Save as/pdf
or eps
, save the picture in the desired format (PDF or EPS or some other) with labels containing Unicode characters. Note that the PDF (1.4 or higher) also supports the transparency (example). The EPS file can be inserted in Word document (example).A set of example files is available in unicode.zip.
