I've wished to use them in other contexts as well (e.g. with other plotting libraries). Lifting latex.jl out and making it its own package will probably make it a lot easier for other visualization packages to re-use the functionality.
Also, I've wanted to use it as a standalone thing, to be able to output LaTeX-code from my program (and cut-and-paste or \include it in a document later). It makes it so much nicer to write LaTeX strings in Julia, since it takes care of escape sequences... // T On Friday, September 12, 2014 5:14:41 PM UTC+2, Ethan Anderes wrote: > > From my experience, I've wished at times that latex strings were also > included in PyCall and not just PyPlot. > > -Ethan. >
