Re: [Matplotlib-users] Simple text style question

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 ht

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Simple text style question

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

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Simple text style question

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

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Simple text style question

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 in

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Simple text style question

Hi Gökhan, Do you have usetex=True set? If so, have you tried the LaTeX command sequence \color{red}{Red text goes here} ? Regards, -- Damon -- Damon McDougall Mathematics Institute University of Warwick Coventry CV4 7AL d.mcdoug...@warwick.ac.uk On 11 Jan 2010, at 05:4

Hello, Is there a way to color words differently in a label or title, for example: ylabel("measurement 1 (in red color)" , "measurement 2 (in blue color)") to match with the plotted line colors? Thanks. -- Gökhan -- Th
