[matplotlib-devel] latex pngs in docs

[John H. <jd...@gm...>]

We are currently using latex dvipng pngs in our html docs to avoid the
mathml browser limitations.  I don't have latex on my OSX box, which
is no really a big problem since I have ssh access to a fully
configured linux box, but it would be really cool to drop this
dependency and use mathtext instead.  Truth in advertising after all
-- eg in the mathtext chapter I'd much rather show them *our*
equations than latex's, even though they are damn close.

Michael - -how hard would it be to generate small PNGs of mpl rendered
equations rather than use latex/dvipng here?
