Writing mathematical expressions — Matplotlib 3.6.2 documentation

You can use a subset of TeX markup in any Matplotlib text string by placing it inside a pair of dollar signs ($). Note that you do not need to have TeX installed, since Matplotlib ships its own TeX expression parser, layout engine, and fonts. The layout engine is a fairly direct adaptation of the layout algorithms in Donald Knuth's TeX, so the quality is quite good (Matplotlib also provides a usetex option for those who do want to call out to TeX to generate their text; see Text rendering with LaTeX). Any text element can use math text. You should use raw strings (precede the quotes with an 'r'), and surround the math text with dollar signs ($), as in TeX. Regular text and mathtext can be interleaved within the same string. Mathtext can use DejaVu Sans (default), DejaVu Serif, the Computer Modern fonts (from (La)TeX), STIX fonts (which are designed to blend well with Times), or a Unicode font that you provide. The mathtext font can be selected via rcParams["mathtext.fontset"] (default:
