Hi all, I prefer san serif ticklabels on my matplotlib plots. Can anyone suggest an easy of making this happen when using TeX/LateX to handle text?

Thanks Robert, Unfortunately I can't easily do this on my work machine. Our sys-admins installed matplotlib release version 0.83.2. If your change is already in 0.84 I can get them to upgrade, but I don't think they are so keen on CVS. Can you suggest a quick hack in the meantime? Cheers, Cory.

Have you read this page: http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/fonts.html ? If not, then a brief summary is: You should be able set the default font in your matplotlibrc file. If you want the labels to be different than the res= t of the plot, then you'll need to create a FontProperties object and pass it to the axes.set_xlabel() method before plotting, i.e. > myaxes =3D plot(...) > myfont =3D FontProperties(fontfamily=3D'sanserif') > myaxes.set_label('my text', fontdict=3Dmyfont) > plot(...) See also the font_properties_demo.py -- Paul Cheers, > Cory. > > > Robert Kern wrote: > > Cory Davis wrote: > > > >>Hi all, > >>I prefer san serif ticklabels on my matplotlib plots.

The relevant changes are in texmanager.py (and I don't recall if they are in 0.84). def get_tex_command(self, tex, fname): fontcmd = {'sans-serif' : r'{\sffamily %s}', 'monospace' : r'{\ttfamily %s}'}.get( rcParams['font.family'], r'{\rmfamily %s}') tex = fontcmd % tex Add that snippet to the method and you should be good to go. -- Robert Kern rk...@uc...

This is not in 0.84, so I guess I will wait for the next release.
Cheers,
Cory.

You should just be able to drop the CVS texmanager.py into your
site-packages/matplotlib dir and be off to the races

Hi John, > > You should just be able to drop the CVS texmanager.py into your > site-packages/matplotlib dir and be off to the races > > http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/matplotlib/matplotlib/lib/matplotlib/texmanager.py?rev=1.31&view=markup Yes, but the whole problem is that I don't have superuser priveleges on my work machine. I realise I could have the CVS matplotlib in my own python library in my home directory, but for several reasons we decided that this isn't so nice. The sysadmins have, in some easily manageable way, put matplotlib 0.83.2 on all of the linux machines in our department, which is just great. When some killer feature is added, I can let them know and they can easily do the upgrade, but my impression is they are happier with releases than with CVS, and I don't want to push my luck. Also, its not such a big deal to wait for the next release.
