Math & Science ⇒ XOR difference, how to?

[krislodz]

Hello,

I am trying to write xor difference which is a Delta character with a XOR as a superscript.

I did it the simplest way as:

Code: Select all

$\Delta^{\oplus}$

But XOR is a little bit too far from Delta and it does not look good. Has anyone done that or has some hints?

[localghost]

Code: Select all

\[
  \Delta\!^\oplus
\]

Best regards
Thorsten

Thanks, this is much better, only the XOR is bigger than it should be and I don't know how to make it smaller.

[localghost]

Code: Select all

\[
  \Delta\!\!^{\scriptscriptstyle\oplus}
\]

Now it is too close, it should not be touching. I will try to experiment with that. Also, is it possible to define such characters in a short version so that the document is easier to read?

[localghost]

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}

\newcommand*{\xordiff}{%
  \Delta\!^{\scriptscriptstyle\oplus}
}


\begin{document}
  \[
    \xordiff
  \]
\end{document}

Thanks a lot for help, this is really useful for future.
