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 $\alpha$
That makes sense. Thank you.

I think you either need to escape the \ as \\ or use a raw string .i.e do
r'$\alpha$' otherwise \a gets interpreted as control character.
try entering '\alpha' in a regular python prompt and you will se what
happens.
