I probably should at some point submit this as a wishlist item, but I thought I'd mention it here: The other day, I was looking to make a ylabel with text of two different colors (I wanted to use the ylabel in a twinx rather than a legend to show that two of three plots on an axis used a particular scale). See also: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9169052/partial-coloring-of-text-in-matplotlib Unfortunately, I don't believe this solution is going to work in a xlabel or ylabel without finding the location of the ylabel and putting these concatenated text objects there. It would be nice to have the label and title methods take a Text object (and a list of text objects -- each of whom could supply a piece of different colored text) in addition to a string. A list of text objects would be automagically concatenated together. How to generalize alignment of multiple text objects? Haven't thought that far yet. Either that or develop some additional color markup (and a parser) inside a string. Admittedly a bigger project -- though probably a better solution.
