That won't work because mpl converts all tex png raster to black and white and handles color on its own in post-processing. The following does work: import numpy , pylab x = numpy.arange( 0.0 , 5.0 ) pylab.rc( 'text' , usetex=True ) pylab.title( r'$\rm{colored\ title\ wanted}$', color='blue' ) pylab.plot( x ) pylab.savefig( 'test.png' ) pylab.show() > > Best wishes, > Mike > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Special Offer -- Download ArcSight Logger for FREE! > Finally, a world-class log management solution at an even better > price-free!
