Re: [Matplotlib-users] 1.3 + xkcd + latex

[Neal B. <ndb...@gm...>]

This example shows the error on my platform - the xlabel is not rendered with 
tex but instead the '$' are printed:

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.xkcd()

fig = fig = plt.figure() 
ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
plt.plot (np.arange (10), 2*np.arange(10))
ax.set_xlabel ('$E_{s}/N_{0}$')
plt.show()
