Unitalicizing a label with a sub/superscript

I need to use a sub/superscript to label the x-axis variable on the horizontal axis of my plot.

Mathematica returns the variable as italicized, but only the $x^2$ needs to be italicized, but not the subscript $g$.

I tried using both Subsuperscript and with the control+6 and _, but both yielded the same results.

Code:

ListPlot[1, 4, 5, Frame -> True, 
 FrameLabel -> (
 "!(*SuperscriptBox[SubscriptBox[(x), (g)], (2)])", 
 "y"
 )]

Corresponding plot:

I'm adding this answer because I think it is the simplest solution.

ListPlot[1, 4, 5,
 Frame -> True,
 FrameLabel -> Subsuperscript[x, g, 2], y]

Edit

Johu has a raised a valid issue in his comment. Here is a solution that addresses it.

ListPlot[1, 4, 5,
 Frame -> True,
 FrameLabel -> Subsuperscript[Style["x", "TI"], Style["g", "TR"], "2"], "y"]

If someone asks where the mystical "TI" and "TR" styles come from: They are heavily used in the reference pages. So if you see something like this in the documentation

you can use Ctrl+Shift+E to see the underlying box-expression and you will note that the same style-definitions are used.

Note

Quite a lot of information on named styles such "TR" can be found on this page

  Now it is a really over-complicated solution. "TR" does the same as FontSlant -> "Plain" which does nothing to solve this problem. Making subscript to String is what makes the difference and it also makes sense semantically.

In my opinion, it is better to avoid linear syntax strings (the kind of strings you get when you apply 2D typesetting structures inside of a string) and instead just use expressions. So, I like this:

Superscript[Subscript[x, g], 2]

instead of:

"!(*SuperscriptBox[SubscriptBox[(x), (g)], (2)])"

Now, the reason that some characters get italicized is because by default ListPlot renders labels in TraditionalForm, and TraditionalForm uses the option SingleLetterItalics->True. So, to avoid having g italicized, you could override this with:

FrameLabel -> Superscript[Subscript[x, Style[g, Plain]], 2], y

or:

FrameLabel -> Superscript[Subscript[x, "g"], 2], y

where the latter works because "g" is not a single letter symbol.

Visualization:

ListPlot[
 1, 4, 5,
 Frame -> True,
 FrameLabel -> Superscript[Subscript[x, Style[g, Plain]], 2], y
]

I think it happens because StandardForm for output plots has TraditionalForm applied to it. TraditionalForm formats differently String-s and Symbol-s. Example:

Magnify[Subsuperscript["x", "g", 2] // TraditionalForm, 2]
Magnify[Subsuperscript[x, "g", 2] // TraditionalForm, 2]

That's also a typical usage case for the MaTeX-package by Szabolcs:

Needs["MaTeX`"]
ListPlot[1, 4, 5, 
 Frame -> True, 
 FrameLabel -> (MaTeX["x_\mathrmg^2"], MaTeX["y"])
 ]

  Good point although I would avoid text for subscripts because textit$x_textg$ would be again in italics -- and theorems are usually typeset in italics.

In my opinion, it is better to avoid linear syntax strings (the kind of strings you get when you apply 2D typesetting structures inside of a string) and instead just use expressions. So, I like this:

Superscript[Subscript[x, g], 2]

instead of:

"!(*SuperscriptBox[SubscriptBox[(x), (g)], (2)])"

Now, the reason that some characters get italicized is because by default ListPlot renders labels in TraditionalForm, and TraditionalForm uses the option SingleLetterItalics->True. So, to avoid having g italicized, you could override this with:

FrameLabel -> Superscript[Subscript[x, Style[g, Plain]], 2], y

or:

FrameLabel -> Superscript[Subscript[x, "g"], 2], y

where the latter works because "g" is not a single letter symbol.

ListPlot[1, 4, 5, Frame -> True, ImageSize -> Tiny, 
 FrameLabel -> (Subsuperscript[x, "g", 2], "y")]~Magnify~3

I think it happens because StandardForm for output plots has TraditionalForm applied to it. TraditionalForm formats differently String-s and Symbol-s. Example:

Magnify[Subsuperscript["x", "g", 2] // TraditionalForm, 2]
Magnify[Subsuperscript[x, "g", 2] // TraditionalForm, 2]

That's also a typical usage case for the MaTeX-package by Szabolcs:

Needs["MaTeX`"]
ListPlot[1, 4, 5, 
 Frame -> True, 
 FrameLabel -> (MaTeX["x_\mathrmg^2"], MaTeX["y"])
 ]

  Latex operatorname has a different semantical meaning. mathrm or text from amsmath would be more precise.

  Good point although I would avoid text for subscripts because textit$x_textg$ would be again in italics -- and theorems are usually typeset in italics.
