How can I use LaTeX in Matplotlib for better text formatting?

You can use LaTeX in Matplotlib by setting the rc parameters. For example, you can enable LaTeX by adding plt.rc('text', usetex=True).

Can you show me an example of a plot with LaTeX formatted labels?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

x = np.linspace(0, 10, 100)
y = np.sin(x)

plt.plot(x, y)
plt.title(r'$	ext{Sine Wave: } y = 	ext{sin}(x)$')
plt.xlabel(r'$x$')
plt.ylabel(r'$y$')
plt.grid()
plt.show()

What if I want to include mathematical symbols in my labels?

You can include mathematical symbols by using LaTeX syntax within the labels. For example, use r'$rac{1}{2}$' for fractions.

Is there a way to customize the font size and style in LaTeX with Matplotlib?

Yes, you can customize font size and style by using the fontsize parameter in your labels, like this: plt.title(r'$ ext{Title}$', fontsize=14).
