I am having a heck of a time figuring out how to use emoji’s in labels. I am using python3 on a Mac and matplotlib 1.5.2
The unicode demo works. http://matplotlib.org/examples/pylab_examples/tex_unicode_demo.html I think my issue might have to do with fonts? I found a discussion about emojis and fonts at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/30049760/emoji-in-matplotlib-figures-on-o s-x They suggest adding the following line prop = fm.FontProperties(fname='/System/Library/Fonts/Apple\ Color\ Emoji.ttf')matplotlib.rcParams['font.family'] = prop.get_name() How ever I get the following error /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4/lib/python3.4/site-package s/matplotlib/font_manager.py in get_name(self) 735 properties. 736 """ --> 737 return ft2font.FT2Font(findfont(self)).family_name 738 739 def get_style(self): RuntimeError: In FT2Font: Could not set the fantasize Here is what my graph looks like if I follow the ‘tex unicode demo' Also I have about 21 different “categories / factors” any suggestions how to format the graph so the legend looks nice? Notice the colors are reused and the legend is to bit Thanks in advance Andy Log message: DEBUG:root:AEDWIP pwsPlotDate() label: ★ DEBUG:root:AEDWIP pwsPlotDate() label: ✅ DEBUG:root:AEDWIP pwsPlotDate() label: ✓ DEBUG:root:AEDWIP pwsPlotDate() label: ✔ DEBUG:root:AEDWIP pwsPlotDate() label: ✪ DEBUG:root:AEDWIP pwsPlotDate() label: ❤ DEBUG:root:AEDWIP pwsPlotDate() label: 🏻 DEBUG:root:AEDWIP pwsPlotDate() label: 🐓 DEBUG:root:AEDWIP pwsPlotDate() label: 🐔 DEBUG:root:AEDWIP pwsPlotDate() label: 🐦 DEBUG:root:AEDWIP pwsPlotDate() label: 👈 DEBUG:root:AEDWIP pwsPlotDate() label: 👍 DEBUG:root:AEDWIP pwsPlotDate() label: 👎 DEBUG:root:AEDWIP pwsPlotDate() label: 👿 DEBUG:root:AEDWIP pwsPlotDate() label: 🔥 DEBUG:root:AEDWIP pwsPlotDate() label: 🖕 DEBUG:root:AEDWIP pwsPlotDate() label: 🗽 DEBUG:root:AEDWIP pwsPlotDate() label: 😂 DEBUG:root:AEDWIP pwsPlotDate() label: 😫 DEBUG:root:AEDWIP pwsPlotDate() label: 🚂
