Is there a way around this?
There are others that cause problems as well. The usual workaround is list_plot([[1,2],[2,3]],axes_labels=['$\\beta$','y']) where the \\ escapes the \. I think another solution would be list_plot([[1,2],[2,3]],axes_labels=[r'$\beta$','y']) which tells Python it's a "raw" string. I always have to remind myself of this stuff - it always trips me up - so it's good to have the opportunity to do so for someone else and keep it fresh and on the brain. :) - kcrisman -- To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URL: http://www.sagemath.org
