[Matplotlib-users] large space after superscript in mathtype

[Mark B. <ma...@gm...>]

Hello List,

I want to put the following text on a graph, for example along the x-axis:

xlabel('$m^3/d$')

This should show the letter m raised to the power 3 and then a slash and
the letter d.
When I do this, there appears a large space after the power 3 and the slash.
So much so that the copy editor of the journal I am publishing in asked me
to remove the extra white space.

Any suggestions on how to do that?

Thanks,

Mark
