LaTeX strings

[Aradan]

Hi,

firstly, thanks for the plugin, it's very useful :) . I would like to know if it is too difficult (or if it's planned in the future) to add LaTeX strings to the GIFS (like in Matplotlib). This would be a great addition since Mayavi has a very limited text edition options.

you could create a video with the latex formulas via matplotlib (using mplfig_to_npimage) and then make a composition over the mayavi animation. Am I right?

Yes, we must find a way to print any latex command in Matplotlib (and just the latex formula: no axes, no background, etc). Then you can just make a ImageClip(mpl_fig_to_npimage(fig)) and compose it with the Mayavi animation.

Thanks, it is a good idea. I will try that.

I'll assume this issue has been resolved. If not, please reopen it.
