How do I write text in subscript in the axis labels and the legend?
Question:
I have the following axis labels and legend.
plt.ylabel("ratio_2")
plt.xlabel("n_1")
plt.legend(('alpha_1','alpha_2' ), loc = 'best',shadow = True)
Answers:
The easiest way I know is to enable TeX mode for matplotlib,
from http://www.scipy.org/Cookbook/Matplotlib/UsingTex:
from matplotlib import rc
rc('font',**{'family':'sans-serif','sans-serif':['Helvetica']})
rc('text', usetex=True)
Put dollar signs around the formula: plt.xlabel("$n_1$")
