Does anybody know a way to mix mathtext and regular text, for example in th= e axis label? Something like xlabel(r'$\rho^2$ along axis') doesn't work. I know this is mentioned in the manual. Just wondering if somebody knows a workaround rather than using the full Latex option. Thanks, Mark |

Does r'$\rho^2 \text{along axis}' work/ I have no idea if it should, but that's how it's done in an equation environment in LaTeX. -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer NOAA/OR&R/HAZMAT (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception Chr...@no... |

If you have dvipng and set text.usetex : True in your matplotlibrc file, th= en xlabel(r'$\rho^2$ along axis') works (and looks darn pretty thanks to Darre= n).

The two things that have kept me from focusing more attention to mathtext are the fact that the bakoma fonts we use are so bad noone wants to use them (Nicholas recently submitted a patch for PS which allows matplotlib mathtext to work with native PS AFM fonts) and that there is not TeX/LaTeX integration. Nonetheless, it would be nice to support this syntax. The current workaround is to use the roman fonts Mark> xlabel(r'$\rho^2$\ \rm{along\ axis}') but since kerning is not supported in the bakoma fonts it doesn't look that good, typically. JDH |
