Hi,
How can one display Mandarin labels in a plot, as yticks_labels for
example?
It looks to me that there is no font in matplotlib that can display
Chinese
characters? I can display accentuation from 'utf8' but i could not find a
font family that would display Chinese characters.
Here is an example of plot that displays empty boxes instead of Chinese
characters. In comments you can see various failed attempts:
import matplotlib as mpl
from matplotlib import cm
from matplotlib import rc
#rc('font',**{'family':'sans-serif','sans-serif':['SimHei','Arial']})
#mpl.rcParams['font.sans-serif'] = ['SimHei','Arial']
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
matrix=[[skey+tkey for skey in [1,2]] for tkey in [1,2]]
fig = plt.figure()
axim = fig.add_subplot(111)
#ytics: caractères chinois en utf8
ytics=['\xe6\x8a\xb1'.decode('utf8'),'\xe6\x93\x81'.decode('utf8')]
xtics=['d\xc3\xa9bo\xc3\xaeter'.decode('utf8'),'diviser'.decode('utf8')]
axim.imshow(matrix, cmap=cm.jet, interpolation='nearest',origin='lower')
axim.set_xticks(range(2))
axim.set_xticklabels(xtics,fontsize=15,rotation=25,ha='right',family='monospace')
axim.set_yticks(range(2))
axim.set_yticklabels(ytics,fontsize=15,family='fantasy')#,fontname='AR
PL ungtiL GB')
plt.show()
Thank you for your help,

Why are you setting the font family to "monospace" and "fantasy" here?
You need to set the font to something that will have the Chinese
characters, for example, by uncommenting the lines that set sans-serif
to "SimHei" above. (That should work, but I don't have a Chinese font
on my system to test with.)
