This was the goal and I got quite close to achieving it. This latter parts of this thread deal with the specific issues (relating to the directory structure chosen) http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=A97F3AC6-1434-4E6D-AF39-9DBD4653BCB4%40witherden.org&forum_name=matplotlib-devel So I was advised by John to just assume mathtex is installed. Thankfully this is not hard to do -- and is covered in the INSTALL file. It is basically a case of changing to lib/mathtext and running python setup.py build && python setup.py install. The branch handles the checking out of mathtex from its svn repo (svn:externals) and any system that can build matplotlib can also build mathtex. Currently the HEAD revision is checked out. This is easy to change. There is a slight performance penalty associated with using mathtex -- due to each expression being parsed twice -- where matplotlib caches parsed expressions. If this is a problem let me know and I'll work on something.
