Hello,
When I use something along the lines of
legend( (r'$0.5^x/x!$', r'$1^x/x!$') )
for some reason omegas are drawn instead of the ! sign. I can't find an
alternative here nor elsewhere. Any ideas?
Looks fine to me. Do you have rcParams['text.usetex']=True?
Thanks Damon. No, I was using matplotlib's own mathtex
<http://matplotlib.org/users/mathtext.html> rather than direct LaTeX
support <http://matplotlib.org/users/usetex.html>. If I do set usetex to
True, trying to plot anything results in errors, the output including:
! LaTeX Error: File `type1cm.sty' not found.
This issue is mentioned
<http://matplotlib.org/users/usetex.html#possible-hangups> on the
matplotlib webpage (I am using Ubuntu-derived Mint). I'm not keen to
install type1cm as part of Mint's space-chomping 485MB
texlive-latex-extra package. May figure out how to install it
individually; if anyone has experience with this, please shout. Cheers.
