hi all,
i am using matplotlib 0.98.5.2 on Mac OS X. i am plotting a histogram and
then saving it as .pdf. The x and y labels use some symbols from latex, and
i have useTex set to true in my rcParams. The code is:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
my_fig = plt.figure(figsize=(5,5)), dpi=100)
plt.hist(rand(100), 10)
plt.xlabel(r"\alpha")
plt.ylabel(r"\beta\kappa")
plt.savefig('myfig.pdf')
The problem is that myfig.pdf for some reason renders the figure's x and y
labels as *images* rather than vector graphics. Strangely, the labels of the
units on the x and y axes are rendered as vector fonts correctly as they
should -- it is only the x and y labels that somehow are wrongly generated
as images.
how can i make it so everything is generated as a vector graphic in this
pdf?
thanks very much.
i am attaching my rcParams settings below in case it helps:
