[Matplotlib-users] How to mix maths & text in labels ?

[Nicolas G. <nic...@ne...>]

Hi all,
I need to mix maths & text in labels such as title and xlabel.

I first tried the most intuitive way: 


  title(r"$x$ and $y$")

but it appeared not to work (don't focus of my silly sample title, the real 
one does make sense ;-)

Then I tried

  title(r"$x$ \text{and} $y$")

but I got an error related to the fact that is_string_like() returned False 
when passing my title string to it.

Could you please tell me how to achieve it ?

Thanks in advance,
cheers,
Nicolas
