Mark ticks in latex in matplotlib

问题

In a plot in matplotlib I specially want to mark points on the x-axis as pi/2, pi, 3pi/2 and so on in latex. How can I do it?

回答1:

The plt.xticks command can be used to place LaTeX tick marks. See this doc page for more details.

import matplotlib as mpl
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

cos = np.cos
pi = np.pi

# This is not necessary if `text.usetex : True` is already set in `matplotlibrc`.    
mpl.rc('text', usetex = True)
fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(1, 1, 1)
t = np.linspace(0.0, 2*pi, 100)
s = cos(t)
plt.plot(t, s)

plt.xticks([0, pi/2, pi, 3*pi/2, 2*pi],
           ['$0$', r'$\frac{\pi}{2}$', r'$\pi$', r'$\frac{3\pi}{2}$', r'$2\pi$'])
plt.show()
