Latex axes label issue

[guenp]

ylabel('R$_{xx,ac}$')
worked in matplotlib, didn't work in plotly

thanks for reporting! looks like we'll have to move around our latex $ around a bit

[benvarkey]

Any ETA on this? Thanks.

@benvarkey - You can combine LaTeX with plain text by using the Text keyword, i.e.: '$\\beta_{1c} = 25 \\pm 11 \\text{ km s}^{-1}$'. See more examples here: https://plot.ly/python/LaTeX/

For now, re-arranging the $ is out of scope for our matplotlib converter.

It doesn't render with plotly.offline.iplot(...) (shows the raw text), but it renders correctly if exported to plot.ly

[benvarkey]

Actually, I don't get the rendered text even with pure latex code:

But, when I export to plot.ly, I get this:

Any ideas? Thanks.

I am experiencing the same issue and can confirm this similarly occurs when using plotly offline with MATLAB.

I have the same issue in offline Jupyter notebooks. When I export the plot to the online web-ui it renders the latex label correctly.

Is there any plan to fix/implement this? LaTeX rendering is a fairly important feature when generating scientific plots.

Hey guys, someone on the Front support is wondering about an estimation for when this feature will be fixed. Any ideas?

I would also love using Latex in plotly offline mode!

Just wanted to point out to people here that inserting a JavaScript snippet into the notebook fixed the issue for me. Thanks @jjaraalm !!!

[guenp]

@chriddyp maybe you guys could implement this patch? ❤️

Opening a PR here to try out some different solutions: #683

Same problem here - LaTeX math labels don't render properly in offline mode (in a Jupyter notebook). Hope a fix is coming soon, thanks!
