Re: [Matplotlib-users] Colorbar labels never appear vertically

[James M. <jam...@gm...>]

After some testing, it appears to be caused by the use of LaTeX in the
labels which then prevents it from being rotated (but only inside the GTK
application). I have no idea why this is only occurring when it is not in
interactive mode, but I guess for the time being I can just try not to use
LaTeX.
