Bigger Size of Dot

Post by sainistar »

Hi there,

I am using \dot to put at dot on the word but the dot seem very small. Is there any command that can give bigger dot size than \dot.

Thanks in Advance.
Aman

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

Hi Aman,

welcome to the board!

You could use the accent package, like I posted here:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{accents}
\newcommand*{\dt}[1]{%
  \accentset{\mbox{\large\bfseries .}}{#1}}
\newcommand*{\ddt}[1]{%
  \accentset{\mbox{\large\bfseries .\hspace{-0.25ex}.}}{#1}}
\begin{document}
$\dot{x} \neq \dt{x}$

$\ddot{x} \neq \ddt{x}$
\end{document}
