Putting newline in matplotlib label with TeX in Python?

Question

How can I add a newline to a plot\'s label (e.g. xlabel or ylabel) in matplotlib? For example,

plt.bar([1, 2], [4, 5])
plt.xlabel(\"My x label\")
plt.ylabel         


        

Answer 1

plt.bar([1, 2], [4, 5])
plt.xlabel("My x label")
plt.ylabel(r"My long label with $\Sigma_{C}$ math" + "\n" + "continues here")

Just concatenate the strings with a newline that isn't in raw string form.
