Hi there,
I wonder if there is I way how to use math symbols together with the basemap
class.
Here is my problem:
The lines
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.text(0.06 , 0.04, r"200 $\Omega$ m",
fontsize=10, transform=plt.gca().transAxes)
work with a standard plot. However if I use basemap, I get the following error:
File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/matplotlib/text.py", line 280, in
_get_layout
clean_line, self._fontproperties, ismath=ismath)
File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/matplotlib/backends/backend_agg.py", line
156, in get_text_width_height_descent
self.mathtext_parser.parse(s, self.dpi, prop)
File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/matplotlib/mathtext.py", line 2797, in
parse
font_output = fontset_class(prop, backend)
File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/matplotlib/mathtext.py", line 658, in
__init__
self._stix_fallback = StixFonts(*args, **kwargs)
File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/matplotlib/mathtext.py", line 900, in
__init__
fullpath = findfont(name)
File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/matplotlib/font_manager.py", line 1306, in
findfont
if not os.path.exists(font):
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/genericpath.py", line 18, in exists
st = os.stat(path)
TypeError: coercing to Unicode: need string or buffer, dict found
Thank you very much for your help!
