如何使matplotlib和乳胶一起工作?


问题内容

我有以下问题,对于matplotlib和python来说我是一个新手:要为我的论文生成高质量的图,我想使用matplotlib,并且想对轴等使用Latex命令。当我尝试下面的示例时(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

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

我是Linux(Ubuntu 14.04)的新手,安装matplotlib时可能做错了什么;这是我完成安装matplotlib等的工作:

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

如果我尝试使用其他任何图形(包括乳胶命令),都会收到类似的错误消息,或者坐标轴没有任何标签的图形。


问题答案:

如您在matplotlib-user邮件列表上的报告所述,您的问题之前已被看到。决议在这里,其工作原理在这里

总之,您需要清除tex.cache目录。

要查找该目录的位置-进入python并执行 matplotlib.get_cachedir()

对于标准的Ubuntu 14.04安装-您应该获得以下内容:

~$ 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,它应该都能正常工作。


文件问题

可以在usetex疑难解答文档部分中找到类似的一些技巧,这些技巧可导致在此处找到目录, 但是不幸的是它们没有提及get_cachedir()
