I am looking for suggestions on how to typeset complex numbers in the modulo-argument form, sometimes called phasor notation. Have already checked Conventions for typesetting complex vectors and vectors with complex components but nobody mentions this in particular. I am explicitly excluding exponential and sine-cosine notations.
My MWE is as follows
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
$z = r \angle \phi$
\end{document}
I think it looks ugly, specially if the angle has many digits, ie
$z = 1.19 \angle -78.2039^{\circ}$
I was thinking of an \angle
replacement which maybe would extend the lower segment up to the last digit. What do you think?
EDIT: It looks like the steinmetz
package doesn't do a good job with the vertical space if the \phasor{}
argument has a \fraction{}{}
with parenthesis, see:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{steinmetz}
\begin{document}
Something.
\[I = I \phase{\left(\frac{A_0}{B_0}\right)}\]
This line is too close to the upper equation, don't you think?
\[I = I \phase{\left(\frac{A_0}{B_0}\right)}\]
Whereas this line is NOT so close to the upper equation.
\end{document}
Strangely, commenting the first line (% Something.
) fixes the problem. Is there any way to fix this?

The
steinmetz
package was written exactly for this.
