Hi All,
Trying to tune alignment of xtick labels.
I have the following for my lables
===
import matlplotlib.pyplot as plt
x_dat = [1,2,3,4]
x_label = ['$\mathrm{nn}$' , '${}^2\mathrm{H}$', '${}^4\mathrm{He}$',
'${}^4_{\Lambda\Lambda}\mathrm{He}$']
plt.xticks(x_dat,x_label)
===
you can see I have both superscripts and subscripts (and sometimes none) on
these labels.
Try as I might, I can not figure out how to get these to align how I want (I
have tried all the options from verticalalignment=option in the plt.xticks()
command.
If LaTeX were rendering such fonts (in a TeX document), it would align the
bottom of the characters, and then place the super and sub scripts accordingly.
It seems that matplotlib is creating a bounding box around each label, and then
aligning according to the top, bottom or center of the corresponding bounding
boxes.
Is there a way to get the alignment to work according to my above description
(the LaTeX way)?
If it involves fine tuning the position of each label - could someone
demonstrate a simple example of how to set the positions individually?
I am using the mathtext (there are issues I have had trying to get latex to
work with my current set up, which I am still working on, but aren't sorted out
yet).
Thanks,
Andre
