Help with disabling latexification in Plots.jl's ticks (pyplot)

Hello,

I don’t know how to disable latexification of strings in Plots.jl xticks argument. The point is that if I run the script:

using Plots
pyplot()
strs = ["a_1", "a_3", "a_3", "a_4"]
heatmap(rand(Uniform(), 5,5), xticks = (1:4, strs))

I get an heatmap with the xticks shown as a_1, \, a_2, \, a_3, \, a_4 , whereas I would like to see a_1, a_2, a_3, a_4.

Is it possible? If so, how?

PS: As you may notice, the colorbar bug noted in this issue is still present. Do you know any workaround?

Thanks in advance

seems to be an issue with pyplot. Can’t reproduce with default backend GR

You may try the keyword

plot(..., ticks = :default)

to disable custom ticks
