[Matplotlib-users] Tex error in plot label

2015-07-28 Thread Joao Quinta da Fonseca
I am trying to use LaTeX on the ylabel of a plot using: plt.ylabel("$\alpha$”) and I am seeing very inconsistent behaviour. If I use $\alpha$ I get an error (see below), but \gamma is fine. $\tau does not give an error but plots a strange character. Can you help? thanks Joao Using $\alpha$
