If I try to format the text using tex in a figure where a colorbar is
present, I get the following error:

I am using the MacPorts installation of matplotlib on OS X 10.9. I can
generate this error by adding the line:
plt.rc('text', usetex=True)
to any example code that has a colorbar, (i.e., griddata_demo.py). The
consequence of this error is that the figure does not have any text on the
colorbar axis.
