In matplotlib 0.90.1, the trigger to render the string with math
formatting is if the string that is ultimately passed to the plotting
engine starts and ends with a '$'.
So to get your expression to work, you would need to do something like:
vlostring="$v_{lo}=%5.2f$" % (vlo)
Does that work for you?
Cheers,
Mike
