Hi, I am trying to understand how to get the TeX "\times" symbol to work. It is in the title() string in the code I pasted in. The "\circ" symbol seems fine, by comparison. "\times" ends up as "imes" in the figure title.
I am probably doing something dumb (hey, maybe a lot of dumb things!), but if you can spot and describe my mistake, I would be quite happy about that. Thank you. # (Using Python 2.7.5 via pythonxy. w7-64) ---------------------------------- import numpy as np import matplotlib.pyplot as plt Qs_rr = np.array([0.]) Qs_ri = np.array([0.]) Es_rr = np.array([-6.352844845095E-02,\ -6.352844845095E-02,\ -9.917112781473E-01,\ -1.008084892264E+00,\ -5.534164139252E-02,\ -5.534164139252E-02]) Es_ri = np.array([ 9.329580097745E-01,\ -9.329580097745E-01,\ 0.000000000000E+00,\ 0.000000000000E+00,\ 1.070772729531E+00,\ -1.070772729531E+00]) plt.hold(False) figs_open = plt.get_fignums() axes_obj=plt.figure(figs_open[0]).gca() lh1 = plt.plot(Qs_rr, Qs_ri, 'ro',\ Es_rr, Es_ri, 'rx') lh1[0].set_markerfacecolor('w') lh1[0].set_markeredgecolor('r') lh1[0].set_markersize(9.0) lh1[0].set_markeredgewidth(0.75) lh1[1].set_markersize(9.0) lh1[1].set_markeredgewidth(0.75) plt.axis([-1.2, 0.2, -1.2, 1.2]) plt.grid(True) plt.title('$\mathrm{poles}$ $(\times)$ \ $\mathrm{\&}$ $\mathrm{zeros}$ \ $(\circ)$ $\mathrm{of}$ $T(s)T(-s)$',\ fontsize=16) plt.xlabel(r'$\sigma$', fontsize=16) plt.ylabel(r'$\mathrm{j}\omega$', fontsize=16) plt.show() -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
