Re: [Matplotlib-users] latex labels on plots
What I meant to say was that \frac doesn't work for me with the mathtext
renderer, i.e. with usetex=False. Do you find that it *does*?

Re: [Matplotlib-users] latex labels on plots
Hi,
frac works for me:
yaxislabel=r'\sffamily water content $\left(
\frac{\textsf{kg}}{\textsf{m}^{\textsf{\small 2}}}\right) $'
ylabel(yaxislabel)
And you can also set
rc('text', usetex=False)
in your file to enable or disable tex
in my case I did the following:
tex_out=True # False
if tex_out:
xaxislabel=r'time ($\sqrt{\textsf{s}}$)'
yaxislabel=r'\sffamily water content $\left(
\frac{\textsf{kg}}{\textsf{m}^{\textsf{\small 2}}}\right) $'
rc('text', usetex=True)
else:
xaxislabel='time (s**0.5)'
yaxislabel='water content (kg/m2)'
rc('text', usetex=False)
It's perhaps not the mose elegant way to do, but I'm quite new to
python/pylab/matplotlib

[Matplotlib-users] latex labels on plots
Hi all I came across this page: http://www.scipy.org/Cookbook/Matplotlib/UsingTex which mentions using LaTeX to generate labels on plots in Matplotlib. What I only discovered recently is that you don't need this 'usetext=1' thing in order to create captions on plots that include subscripts, etc. According to section 2.6.4 of the user's guide, you can just surround your text with $...$ to have it formatted as if it were latex. This is especially important if you're exporting SVG graphics (eg if you want to add more captioning/labelling using inkscape): the 'usetex' approach fails in that case. I wonder if someone with write access to the scipy wiki could maybe update the above page with some comments about the 'mathtext' support in Matplotlib? It might also be worth noting that the mathtext functionality doesn't support the \frac operator.
