I have just finished going over the mathtex branch and it appears to
be totally feature complete. Furthermore, by using the newest version
of mathtex it also benefits from the recent rendering improvements.
I am therefore interested to hear peoples comments on it/what can be

Hi,
I was thinking about the problem of including mathtex in matplotlib earlier
and came up with an alternative means of 'solving' the problem.
Instead of hacking setup.py to install mathtex on the behalf of matplotlib it
may be easier to leave it up to the user/packager to install mathtex.

The interface itself is mostly the same, although there are a few

Hi all,
With the integration of mathtex into matplotlib nearing completion
(just bug fixes really) I think now is a good time to be considering
the best way to include mathtex into matplotlib.
This has already been discussed on the mathtex mailing list, with
Michael proposing a few ways of

Hi all,
Currently mathtex does not have support for anything other than
TrueType fonts. However, matplotlib can make use of the 14 'core'
fonts that are part of the PS/PDF specs. The metrics for these fonts
come from AFM files.
The question is how important are these as a feature? While I c
Hi all,
I was grepping the source code today for any remaining uses of
matplotlib.mathtext in matplotlib and stumbled upon menu.py -- a menu
demo/example.
Although it does use/import mathtex it seems to only use it for
rendering plain (non-math) text using the to_mask function. This is

Hi all,
For those that are interested: the mathtex summer of code project is
making good progress. On the development list for the project,
mathtex-...@googlegroups.com
there is currently some discussion going on about integrating it
back into matplotlib.

Hi all,
As some of you probably know I am working on the GSoC project to
externalise the Mathtex engine from Matplotlib. Today I have been
toying around with the renderer using various backends.
One of the interesting things that I discovered was that the Cairo
backend was making use of sub
