I'd like to customize the math symbol "evaluated at". If I use the code:

\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}

\begin{document}

\begin{equation*}
\frac{d}{dt} \left( i_{O_L} \Bigr|_{O_G} \right) =
\end{equation*}

\begin{equation*}
\frac{d}{dt} \left( i_{O_L} \Bigg\rvert_{O_G} \right) =
\end{equation*}

\end{document}

In the first case the vertical bar is too small. In the second case the vertical bar grows up in both directions up and down. I'm wondering if it's possible to grow up the bar only below. For example (i want a thin vertical bar, in fugure it is not so thin):

Thank you so much for your time.

  • Your notations look strange.What's evaluated? The derivative or the argument of the differential symbol?

  • Hello @Bernard see the edit please. I want only the symbol evaluated at like the above one. Jan 24, 2019 at 22:47
  • So inside the parentheses?

  • ...like in the figure. Without parentheses. Jan 24, 2019 at 23:00
  • Ps: if there is the option to put the above expression inside paretheses, it would be better. Jan 24, 2019 at 23:04

Not too sure I've well ubderstood what you want, but I propose this:

\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{diffcoeff, array, delarray}

\begin{document}

\begin{equation*}
\diffp*{\begin{array}[t]({@{}c@{\,}|@{\,}c@{}})O_L & \\ & O_T\end{array}}{t}
\end{equation*}

\begin{equation*}
\diffp*{\begin{array}[t]({@{}c@{\,}|@{\,}c@{}})O_L & \\[2ex] & O_T\end{array}}{t}
\end{equation*}

\end{document}

  • Hi @Bernard, I'm looking for a different style. Please see my figures (with and without d/dt). My vertical bar is long only in the below direction. I want to customize its length. Jan 25, 2019 at 5:52
  • I've added another example to show how to modify the length of the vertical rule (downwards).

Here's a modification of https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/458265/4427 where the rule only extends from the formula axis down, with a very large amount just for demonstration purposes.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}

\makeatletter
\newcommand{\evalat}[2]{\mathpalette\eval@at{{#1}{#2}}}
\newcommand{\eval@at}[2]{\eval@@at#1#2}
\newcommand{\eval@@at}[3]{%
  #2\,
  {%
   \sbox0{$#1\left|#2\right|$}%
   \vrule height \fontdimen22\textfont2 depth \dimexpr\dp0+5ex\relax
  }_{\,#3}
}
\makeatother

\begin{document}

\[
\evalat{x}{x=5}
\qquad
\evalat{\frac{x+1}{x-1}}{x=2}
\]

\end{document}

enter image description here

Fix the depth by changing the value 5ex to something more sensible. Be advised that delimiters using \left and \right will grow as much in the upper as in the lower direction.
