[Matplotlib-users] UsingTex: Nice thing to know and more problems

[kristen k. <co...@ya...>]

Hi matplotliber's (windows users)

A few days ago I reported problems with the
tex_demo.py script. Some solutions have been found
meanwhile.

First of all, matplotlibrc is NOT put in the intended
directory upon istallation. It resides in the old
share\matplotlib\. This must be done manually!!

Secondly, when using TeX to create figure text, make
sure that the directories where dvipng.exe, latex.exe,
gs.exe etc are present in the system variable Path.
For most latex/miktex installation this will probably
be: C:\texmf\miktex\bin and C:\gs\.

I have still not made it work using the PS backend.
Somewhere there is an eps and tex file that has not
been put in the .matplotlib\tex.cache directory.

Also, much of the text doesn't come out correctly in
the figures, so there are still problems when using
TeX on Windows!!
