[Matplotlib-users] Dollar sign in TeX plot label

[Richard L. <r.w...@gm...>]

I am having trouble creating a plot using TeX which has a $ sign in
one of the axis labels.  If I run:

import matplotlib

matplotlib.rc('font', **{'family': 'serif', 'serif': ['Computer Modern Roman']})
matplotlib.rc('text', usetex=True)

import pylab

pylab.figure()
pylab.plot([0.0, 1.0])
pylab.ylabel("Profit (\$)")
pylab.savefig('/tmp/fig.pdf')


I get the error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

I am using Debian/unstable and have the latest texlive installed.  Can
anyone tell me what the problem might be?

Try:

pylab.ylabel(r"Profit (\$)")

No luck.  Nor with:

matplotlib.rc('text.latex', unicode=True)
pylab.ylabel(u"Profit (\$)")

Hmmm, if I comment out the .savefig() and use the show(), I get no errors.
But I get the same key error if I try to save it as a pdf.  However, if I
save it as a png, I get no problems.

Maybe it is a problem with the pdf backend?

You could use

pylab.ylabel(r"Profit (\verb+$+)")

or use another font.
