如何让matplotlib和乳胶一起工作?

我有以下问题而且我对matplotlib和python完全是新手:要为我的论文制作高质量图我想使用matplotlib并且我想使用乳胶命令用于轴等。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

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

我是Linux新手(Ubuntu 14.04),安装matplotlib时可能做错了。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,包括乳胶命令,我会收到类似的错误消息,或者没有任何标签的图表。

您的问题之前已被视为reported here on the matplotlib-user mailing list。决议is here及其确认有效is here

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 - 您应该得到以下内容:

~$ 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,它应该全部工作。

文档问题

usetex troubleshooting docs section中提供了类似这样的一些提示,导致here找到了目录,但遗憾的是他们没有提及get_cachedir()
