I want to superimpose two symbols, e.g. I want to superimpose \vee
and \wedge
and >
and <
symbols over each other (not above each other as in stackrel
) and Q
with a horizontal strike through like bar across it. I am using LyX 2.0.

Best Answer
\rlap
and\llap
can be used to print a symbol without a width. Similar, themathtools package
provides commands\mathrlap
,\mathclap
,\mathllap
. These commands offer a quick way for overlapping symbols.Example, overlapping
\vee
,\wedge
and Q like desired in your question:While
\rlap
produces a zero-width box where the content sticks out to the right,\llap
does the same but to the left.\mathclap
centers to the current position.
