Annotations with Latex code cause errors in 1.5 master #3641

tobias47n9e · 2014-10-13T10:01:37Z

I get several error messages when running the following 2 code-snippets using pyplot. My original intent was to plot an array or matrix in the annotations. I am using Mpl 1.5 from https://launchpad.net/~takluyver/+archive/ubuntu/matplotlib-daily

from matplotlib import rcParams

rcParams['text.usetex'] = True

ax.annotate(
    r"$ \begin{array}{ccc} a & b & c \\ d & e & f \\ g & h & i \end{array} $",
    (0.25, 0.25),
    textcoords='axes fraction', size=20)

/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/matplotlib/text.py:1788: UserWarning: You have used the `textcoords` kwarg, but not the `xytext` kwarg.  This can lead to surprising results.

Looks like you are missing some latex packages.

This is the important line:

! LaTeX Error: File `type1cm.sty' not found.

I think this should be in the package texlive-latex-extra in Ubuntu.

tacaswell · 2014-10-13T15:49:20Z

I agree with jens, this looks like a latex installation/configuration issue, not an MPL issue.

I am going to close this as I don't think there is anything we can do on our side to fix this.

Only thing I can think of is to add a smoke test to the 'usetex' rcparam.

tobias47n9e · 2014-10-13T17:25:16Z

I actually thought I had all latex packages installed, but I was missing "texlive-latex-extra" which contains "type1cm". Sorry for the report.
