I’m often plotting things where I need the labels to have some styling. Particularly species names that need to be in italics, eg a y-label that’s something like “Relative abundance of E. coli” There are easy ways to set the overall font of a label or other text element, but as far as I can tell, …

It does exist but this part of the API is pretty rough/hacky. Currently you can pass a vector of font names and each glyph takes its own font. Text shaping / styling / font substitution, etc, is a verrry deep rabbit hole and so far we’ve gotten pretty far without relying on complex tools like Pango …

what about a different colour for E. coli?

Sorry gentlemen to chime in, as I am not yet a regular Makie user but would like to become one. As I understand that Makie supports LaTeXStrings, is it not possible to write the equivalent of Plots.jl annotate!() using the pgfplotsx() backend: using LaTeXStrings, Plots; pgfplotsx() st0 = "Relative…

[image] rafael.guerra: As I understand that Makie supports LaTeXStrings, I got really excited for a moment, but I tried: ax = Axis(fig[1, 1]; xlabel=L"Relative abundance of \textit{E. coli}") and got caused by: TeXParseError: unsupported command \textit at position 30 (string index 30) Rel…

LaTeXStrings.jl does not do any rendering. It is only for convenience to avoid mess with all the escaping when interpolating strings that contain LaTeX commands, as far as I understand. The rendering in Makie.jl is done via MathTexEngine.jl but it looks like it has not yet implemented different font…

[image] kevbonham: Particularly species names that need to be in italics You can just use Unicode italics (assuming you have a font that covers these characters): text("Relative abundance of 𝘌. 𝘤𝘰𝘭𝘪") (In Julia, type by tab-completing \itE, \itc, etcetera. You could easily write a function…

This no longer seems to work: text("Relative abundance of E. coli", font = [fill("TeX Gyre Heros Makie", 22); fill("TeX Gyre Heros Makie Italic", 7)]) ERROR: BoundsError: attempt to access 1-element UnitRange{Int64} at index [2] Stacktrace:

Ah, lovely. TIL fig=Figure() ax = Axis(fig[1,1], xlabel=rich("Relative abundance of ", rich("E. coli"; font=:italic)) ) [image]
