Here's a nice symbiosis, which I offer up as a tip: In trying to make a Diagram! (showing an angular momentum coupling scheme) I found it necessary to use as labels text objects which were heavily laden with mathematics. For example, subscripts in Greek, "twiddle" marks over characters, etc. I found it very convenient to use EquationBuilder to make up these labels, one at a time, and use the "Copy As EPS" menu item to put a label into the pasteboard. Then clicking and pasting in the Diagram! app, it only involved moving the label to its final position and, perhaps, re-sizing (if necessary). [I chose to make all my labels the same point size, so set that size in the EqB font panel.] You don't even need to go through the expense of saving things in files. Dick Silbar
