I need to put two words in a figure, using ax.text or fig.text. The problem is that the first word should be written in bold and italic, the second without any particular style. For example
one two
The two words should be written as if they are in the same sentence. I can use two calls to ax.text, but I would like to avoid to set manually the alignment between the two labels. What's the best way to do it?
Matplotlib allows you to use latex. It is not enabled by default, so you have to activate it first.
Example:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt # activate usage of latex plt.rcParams['text.usetex'] = True # generate a simple graph fig, ax = plt.subplots(1,1, figsize=(6,3)) ax.text(0.5, 0.5, r"\textit{\textbf{one}} two (on the axes)") fig.text(1., 1., r"\textit{\textbf{one}} two (on the figure)", horizontalalignment='right', verticalalignment='top') plt.show() Result:
'$...$' math text stuff, I think it also supports some basic latex notations.
