I want to write some greek symbols in axes legend, for
> exemple nu letters or lambda. Is it possible? Thank you.
You can use mathtext anywhere you can use text. Just use the standard
way of specifying the string
s = r'\\lambda = 5'
See http://matplotlib.sf.net/matplotlib.mathtext.html for more
information on mathtext.
You may be happy to hear that mathtext for postscript should be ready
soon!
Here is an example that uses mathtext in a legend
from matplotlib.matlab import *
t = arange(0.0, 2.0, 0.1)
plot(t, sin(2*pi*t), '--go', t, log(1+t), '.')
legend((r'\\nu', r'\\lambda'), 'upper right')
show()
