Re: [Matplotlib-users] Partial coloring of text in matplotlib

Along the lines of Mike's suggestion, I thought this could be done using Latex. I posted an answer on SO with an example of doing this, but it seems only to work with postscript backend. Other backends override the color with the mpl text color setting. Is there a way to prevent this override? F

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Partial coloring of text in matplotlib

In the past, I've thought having some sort of "HTML-lite" subset would be the most powerful here. So one could do: title("This is bold") Strictly speaking, for colors, one would do: title("This is red") but that's awfully verbose. I wouldn't have a problem fudging the spec and suppor

Congratulations, Ben! That's an awesome story! I am by no means at the level of competence that Ben (or Ryan May, another matplotlib contributor and meteorology PhD student at OU) but have been able to turn what I've learned from lurking on the MPL listserv (as well as the Numpy/Scipy listservs)

I was basing my whitespace split idea on single string assumption --eg. no list passing. I do not have a strong preference on the final argument passing, as long as it works instead of manually placing the texts on figure or axis :) On Tue, Feb 7, 2012 at 11:52 AM, Ryan May wrote: > On Tue, F

This works as well, as long as it functions :) My idea requires little less typing. But forgot previously, text string should be whitespace split. On Tue, Feb 7, 2012 at 11:43 AM, Benjamin Root wrote: > > > On Tue, Feb 7, 2012 at 12:38 PM, Gökhan Sever wrote: > >> Posted at https://github.com/m

Re: [Matplotlib-users] rendering unicode using the PDF backend

It looks like perhaps we'll need to "synthesize" glyph names if they aren't provided in the font (though it's not clear to me why they are not). This will be difficult to test for, as that's a proprietary font. Have you tried using another Unicode font, such as DejaVu Sans? Mike On 02/06/20
