python - 如何让 matplotlib 和 latex 一起工作？

Question

我有以下问题，我对 matplotlib 和 python 完全陌生:为了为我的论文制作高质量的图，我想使用 matplotlib 并且我想对轴等使用 latex 命令。当我尝试以下示例时(来自 http://matplotlib.org/users/usetex.html#usetex-tutorial ):

import numpy as np 
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt


# Example data 
t = np.arange(0.0, 1.0 + 0.01, 0.01) 
s = np.cos(4 * np.pi * t) + 2

plt.rc('text', usetex=True) 
plt.rc('font', family='serif') 
plt.plot(t, s)

plt.xlabel(r'\textbf{time} (s)')
plt.ylabel(r'\textit{voltage} (mV)',fontsize=16) 
plt.title(r"\TeX\ is Number "
          r"$\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{-e^{i\pi}}{2^n}$!",
          fontsize=16, color='gray')
# Make room for the ridiculously large title. 
plt.subplots_adjust(top=0.8)

plt.savefig('tex_demo') 
plt.show()

我收到以下消息:

  File "test.py", line 21, in <module>
    plt.savefig('tex_demo')
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/matplotlib/pyplot.py", line 561, in savefig
    return fig.savefig(*args, **kwargs)

    self._fontproperties, angle, mtext=self)

    self._renderer.draw_text_image(Z, x, y, angle, gc)

我是 Linux (Ubuntu 14.04) 的新手，可能在安装 matplotlib 时做错了什么；这是我安装 matplotlib 等所做的:

sudo apt-get install python3
sudo apt-get install python-matplotlib
sudo apt-get build-dep python-matplotlib

我正在使用 texmaker 并认为这可能是问题所在；所以我做了以下事情:

sudo aptitude install texlive-fonts-recommended texlive-fonts-extra

如果我尝试任何其他绘图，包括 latex 命令，我会收到类似的错误消息，或者绘图没有任何轴标签。

您的问题之前已被视为 reported here on the matplotlib-user mailing list .决议is here并确认它有效 is here .

综上所述，需要清空tex.cache目录

要找到该目录的位置 - 进入 python 并执行 matplotlib.get_cachedir()

对于标准的 Ubuntu 14.04 安装 - 你应该得到如下内容:

~$ python3
Python 3.4.0 (default, Apr 11 2014, 13:05:11) 
[GCC 4.8.2] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import matplotlib as mpl
>>> mpl.get_cachedir()
'/home/<username>/.cache/matplotlib'

然后执行 rm <path/to/cache/from/above>/tex.cache/*然后重新运行，它应该一切正常。

文档问题

usetex troubleshooting docs section 中提供了一些像这样的提示, 这导致 here找到目录，但不幸的是他们没有提到 get_cachedir()
