<font face="Courier New">Dear all,<br>
<br>
I think a half-high (centered) dot "·" is a better (and more
standard) multiplication sign, it does not take much space and it
cannot be confused with the decimal separator ".", for instance <br>
<br>
1 + Ts·s - A·s</font><font face="Courier New"><sup>2</sup></font><font
face="Courier New"> <br>
<br>
</font>1 + 2.·s - 0.27·s<sup>2</sup><br>
<br>
However, I think the decimal dot shouldn't be used in a block
diagram, its only use is to indicate they are real numbers, but
block diagrams never refer to integers so the decimal dot is
somewhat pedantic.<br>
<br>
By the way, the "·" can be typed using Alt-250 (on the num pad). <br>
<br>
Regards,<br>

With a dot:<br>
<p><img src="cid:part1.E53832CF.34F2B884@fceia.unr.edu.ar" alt=""

<p>With a wider space:</p>
<p><img src="cid:part2.3AA7C3D2.5032E9AE@fceia.unr.edu.ar" alt=""

<p>With the original *:</p>
<p><img src="cid:part3.FA519AD2.E18C0ACA@fceia.unr.edu.ar" alt=""
class=""></p>
<p>What's the best, in average situation ?</p>
<p>My own preference goes to the wider space.<br>
But i am not a Xcos user.</p>
