Hi,
I ran into a bug where I get the LaTeX error:
RuntimeError: LaTeX was not able to process the following string:
''
I know it's an uncommon plot, but I need extra (non-uniform) tick labels at the top so I'm using SubplotHost, on a semilog plot with usetex (so the fonts look similar to the ones on the paper).
Matplotlib svn r8330 on Ubuntu 9.10.
Regards,
Jo�o Silva
Example script: -------------------------------------
from matplotlib import rc
rc('text', usetex=True)
from mpl_toolkits.axes_grid.parasite_axes import SubplotHost
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
fig = plt.figure(1)
ax = SubplotHost(fig, 111)
fig.add_subplot(ax)
x = np.arange(1.0,10.0,0.1)
ax.semilogy(x,x**2)
plt.show()
···
-------------------------------------
I cannot reproduce this error.
I'm using r8330 on Linux.
I guess the error does not occur when you use a normal subplot?
Just in case, replace axes_grid with axes_grid1 and see if it makes
any difference, i.e.,
from mpl_toolkits.axes_grid1.parasite_axes import SubplotHost
Regards,

The following patch avoids the error with your attached plot. I'm sure if it the right fix though -- I'm not sure why empty strings are being sent this far along, and I'm also not seeing any ticks along the top.

The error may be dependent on the version of latex being used. Yours may be handling the empty content just fine. (I'm using TexLive 2009 on RHEL5).

It turns out that when axes_grid toolkit is used and there are some
ticks does not have associated ticklabels (i.e., minor ticks), it
tries to call the "get_texts_widths_heights_descents" method with
empty string.
The following patch prevent this.

I've tried axes_grid1 and it works well. I'm using the default latex (Ubuntu 9.10)
latex --version
pdfTeX using libpoppler 3.141592-1.40.3-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.6)
[etc.]
Both the patches presented fixed the problem, thanks.
