Symbol about not orthogonality in LaTeX
To negate the \perp
(perpendicular) symbol, the command \not\perp
provides a simple solution, but this negated symbol doesn't look that great IMHO:
If you load the mathabx
package, you get the command \notperp
which looks pretty good, as does now the output of \not\perp
. The same effect can be achieved if you load either the MnSymbol
package or the fdsymbol
package and use the command \notperp
(same name used by both packages). Notice, though, that even if you load the MnSymbol
of the fdsymbol
package, the output of \not\perp
still looks pretty bad, i.e., as bad as if you hadn't loaded any extra package at all.
Addendum: Following a request by the OP, here's an MWE that shows how to load the mathabx
package and generate the symbol using the package's \notperp
macro, as well as with \not\perp
"
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{mathabx}
\begin{document}
$a \notperp b$, $c \not\perp d$
\end{document}
Next, here's an MWE that shows the use of the MnSymbol
package to generate these symbols:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{MnSymbol}
\begin{document}
$a \nperp b$, $c \not\perp d$
\end{document}
Finally, with the use of the fdsymbol
package and its \nperp
macro:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fdsymbol}
\begin{document}
$a \nperp b$, $c \not\perp d$
\end{document}
Happy TeXing!
You can add a \not
in front of it:
a \not\perp b
This gives you a struck through orthogonal symbol.
