Allright, I have another comparison. My simple hello.ps file produced by the svn MPL vs test_idl.ps (which has a lot plots --only for test purposes.) file produced by IDL. When I converted the ps file to pdf (using ps2pdf tool) it gets shinier. http://ccnworks.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/hello.ps

This seems like the solution. However when I try: I[1]: plt.plot(range(10)) I[2]: plt.ylabel(r{\color{red} a red text}) It doesn't function and produce an ugly set of error messages: I[3]: ERROR: An unexpected error occurred while tokenizing input The following traceback may be corrupted or

First of all, to use \color with TeX, you need to use color package, i.e., you need to modify your latex preamble to include that package. This can be done by import matplotlib.pyplot as plt plt.rcParams[text.latex.preamble] = r\usepackage{color} I guess the error you encounter is because of

OK JJ, After reading your explanation, I have tried my current Qt4Agg and PS backends. As you told coloring worked only with PS backend. See my sample test-snippets. plt.rcParams[text.latex.preamble] = r\usepackage{color} plt.plot(range(10)); plt.ylabel(\color{red} {red}, \color{blue} {blue});
