<p>How to typeset text with the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pgf</span></code> backend in Matplotlib.</p>
<p>Using the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pgf</span></code> backend, matplotlib can export figures as pgf drawing commands
that can be processed with pdflatex, xelatex or lualatex. XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX
have full unicode support and can use any font that is installed in the operating
system, making use of advanced typographic features of OpenType, AAT and
Graphite. Pgf pictures created by <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">plt.savefig('figure.pgf')</span></code> can be
embedded as raw commands in LaTeX documents. Figures can also be directly
compiled and saved to PDF with <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">plt.savefig('figure.pdf')</span></code> by either
switching to the backend</p>
<div class="highlight-python notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">matplotlib</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">use</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">'pgf'</span><span class="p">)</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>or registering it for handling pdf output</p>
<div class="highlight-python notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="kn">from</span> <span class="nn">matplotlib.backends.backend_pgf</span> <span class="kn">import</span> <span class="n">FigureCanvasPgf</span>
<span class="n">matplotlib</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">backend_bases</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">register_backend</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">'pdf'</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">FigureCanvasPgf</span><span class="p">)</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>The second method allows you to keep using regular interactive backends and to
save xelatex, lualatex or pdflatex compiled PDF files from the graphical user interface.</p>
<p>Matplotlib's pgf support requires a recent <a class="reference external" href="http://www.tug.org">LaTeX</a> installation that includes
the TikZ/PGF packages (such as <a class="reference external" href="http://www.tug.org/texlive/">TeXLive</a>), preferably with XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX
installed. If either pdftocairo or ghostscript is present on your system,
figures can optionally be saved to PNG images as well. The executables
for all applications must be located on your <span class="target" id="index-0"></span><a class="reference internal" href="../../faq/environment_variables_faq.html#envvar-PATH"><code class="xref std std-envvar docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">PATH</span></code></a>.</p>
<p>Rc parameters that control the behavior of the pgf backend:</p>

<div class="admonition note">
<p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>
<p>TeX defines a set of special characters, such as:</p>

<span id="pgf-rcfonts"></span><h2>Font specification<a class="headerlink" href="#font-specification" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>The fonts used for obtaining the size of text elements or when compiling
figures to PDF are usually defined in the matplotlib rc parameters. You can
also use the LaTeX default Computer Modern fonts by clearing the lists for
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">font.serif</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">font.sans-serif</span></code> or <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">font.monospace</span></code>. Please note that
the glyph coverage of these fonts is very limited. If you want to keep the
Computer Modern font face but require extended unicode support, consider
installing the <a class="reference external" href="https://sourceforge.net/projects/cm-unicode/">Computer Modern Unicode</a>
fonts <em>CMU Serif</em>, <em>CMU Sans Serif</em>, etc.</p>
<p>When saving to <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">.pgf</span></code>, the font configuration matplotlib used for the
layout of the figure is included in the header of the text file.</p>

<ul class="simple">
<li>Please note that the TeX packages found in some Linux distributions and
MiKTeX installations are dramatically outdated. Make sure to update your
package catalog and upgrade or install a recent TeX distribution.</li>
<li>On Windows, the <span class="target" id="index-1"></span><a class="reference internal" href="../../faq/environment_variables_faq.html#envvar-PATH"><code class="xref std std-envvar docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">PATH</span></code></a> environment variable may need to be modified
to include the directories containing the latex, dvipng and ghostscript
executables. See <a class="reference internal" href="../../faq/environment_variables_faq.html#environment-variables"><span class="std std-ref">Environment Variables</span></a> and
<a class="reference internal" href="../../faq/environment_variables_faq.html#setting-windows-environment-variables"><span class="std std-ref">Setting environment variables in windows</span></a> for details.</li>
<li>A limitation on Windows causes the backend to keep file handles that have
been opened by your application open. As a result, it may not be possible
to delete the corresponding files until the application closes (see
<a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/issues/1324">#1324</a>).</li>
<li>Sometimes the font rendering in figures that are saved to png images is
very bad. This happens when the pdftocairo tool is not available and
ghostscript is used for the pdf to png conversion.</li>
<li>Make sure what you are trying to do is possible in a LaTeX document,
that your LaTeX syntax is valid and that you are using raw strings
if necessary to avoid unintended escape sequences.</li>
<li>The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pgf.preamble</span></code> rc setting provides lots of flexibility, and lots of
ways to cause problems. When experiencing problems, try to minimalize or
disable the custom preamble.</li>
<li>Configuring an <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">unicode-math</span></code> environment can be a bit tricky. The
TeXLive distribution for example provides a set of math fonts which are
usually not installed system-wide. XeTeX, unlike LuaLatex, cannot find
these fonts by their name, which is why you might have to specify
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">\setmathfont{xits-math.otf}</span></code> instead of <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">\setmathfont{XITS</span> <span class="pre">Math}</span></code> or
alternatively make the fonts available to your OS. See this
<a class="reference external" href="http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/43642">tex.stackexchange.com question</a>
for more details.</li>
<li>If the font configuration used by matplotlib differs from the font setting
in yout LaTeX document, the alignment of text elements in imported figures
may be off. Check the header of your <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">.pgf</span></code> file if you are unsure about
the fonts matplotlib used for the layout.</li>
<li>Vector images and hence <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">.pgf</span></code> files can become bloated if there are a lot
of objects in the graph. This can be the case for image processing or very
big scatter graphs. In an extreme case this can cause TeX to run out of
memory: "TeX capacity exceeded, sorry" You can configure latex to increase
the amount of memory available to generate the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">.pdf</span></code> image as discussed on
<a class="reference external" href="http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/7953">tex.stackexchange.com</a>.
Another way would be to "rasterize" parts of the graph causing problems
using either the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">rasterized=True</span></code> keyword, or <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">.set_rasterized(True)</span></code> as per
<a class="reference external" href="http://matplotlib.org/examples/misc/rasterization_demo.html">this example</a>.</li>
