Hi to the list,
I'm using matplotlib to generate graphs during my master thesis. I
want to thank all the developer for providing such flexible tool.
In some plots I have to put greek letters (or sometimes small formulas)
as axis label. I've found three way to accomplish this:
1. Use the unicode string: xlabel(u'Wavelength [μm]')
2. Use mathtext: xlabel(r'$\rm{Wavelength [\mu m]}$')
3. Use usetex: rc(text, usetex=True), xlabel(r'Wavelength [$\rm{\mu m}$]')
I have some problem with each method, any hint is appreciated.
1. This method works ok as far as I choose a unicode font with the
greek letters, for example:
rcParams['font.serif'] = 'DejaVu Serif'
However with unicode strings I'm not able to do exponent and deponent
text (i.e cm^-1)
Methods 1. and 2. are more flexible, however I'm no able to to put the
\mu character in roman fonts. I don't know if this is the intended
behavior or if it's a bug...
Furthermore, is there a simple way to set fontsize for all text
elements (labels, title, ticklabels). Currently I'm doing:
rcParams['font.size'] = 12
rcParams['xtick.labelsize'] = 14
rcParams['axes.titlesize'] = 16
rcParams['axes.labelsize'] = 14
The relative setting (large, small,...) seems to refer always to the
default font size (set in matplotlibrc). Is there a way to set the
font.size property and then update all the other relative values to
reflect the change?
Many thanks for any help.
