Text introduction
=================

matplotlib has excellent text support, including mathematical
expressions, truetype support for raster and vector outputs, newline
separated text with arbitrary rotations, and unicode support. Because
we embed the fonts directly in the output documents, e.g., for postscript
matplotlib has extensive text support, including support for
mathematical expressions, truetype support for raster and
vector outputs, newline separated text with arbitrary
rotations, and unicode support. Because it embeds
fonts directly in output documents, e.g., for postscript
or PDF, what you see on the screen is what you get in the hardcopy.
`freetype2 <http://www.freetype.org/>`_ support
produces very nice, antialiased fonts, that look good even at small
raster sizes. matplotlib includes its own
:mod:`matplotlib.font_manager`, thanks to Paul Barrett, which
implements a cross platform, W3C compliant font finding algorithm.

You have total control over every text property (font size, font
weight, text location and color, etc) with sensible defaults set in
the rc file. And significantly for those interested in mathematical

The user has a great deal of control over text properties (font size, font
weight, text location and color, etc.) with sensible defaults set in

And significantly, for those interested in mathematical
or scientific figures, matplotlib implements a large number of TeX
math symbols and commands, to support :ref:`mathematical expressions
