Hi, I am trying to use a text label with a new line in the middle and then save the figure to .eps
text(0.5, 0.5, r'a \\ b') savefig('test.eps') This results in: RuntimeError: LaTeX was not able to process your file: Here is the full report generated by LaTeX: This is pdfTeX, Version 3.141592-1.40.3 (Web2C 7.5.6) entering extended mode (/tmp/tmpkRUaxb.tex LaTeX2e <2005/12/01> Babel <v3.8h> and hyphenation patterns for english, usenglishmax, dumylang, noh yphenation, basque, bulgarian, coptic, welsh, czech, slovak, german, ngerman, d anish, esperanto, spanish, catalan, galician, estonian, finnish, french, greek, monogreek, ancientgreek, croatian, hungarian, interlingua, ibycus, indonesian, icelandic, italian, latin, mongolian, dutch, norsk, polish, portuguese, romani an, russian, slovenian, uppersorbian, serbian, swedish, turkish, ukenglish, ukr ainian, loaded.
