I plot multiple time series in the same plot, one with nominal parameter value and the others a result of Monte Carlo runs. I only want label on the one with nominal value…
I tried to do:
```nohighlight
plot(…, label="_nolabel_")
```
for those plots where I don’t want a label (taken from syntax for `matplotlib`…), and this works with the `pyplot` backend of `Plots`: I get loads of error messages in `IJulia`, but the plot is ok. The error messages are typically
```nohighlight
C:\Users\BLI\.julia\v0.6\Conda\deps\usr\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\legend.py:588: UserWarning: The handle has a label of '_nolabel_' which cannot be automatically added to the legend.
'legend.'.format(handle, label))
```
– one for each `"_nolabel_"` label, I guess…
I get a similar error message when I try to `savefig()` the plot.
Question:
- Is this the way to do it in general in `Plots`, or is there a better way?
[Backend `gr()` doesn’t support the `plot(…,label="_nolabel_")` syntax, and also doesn’t appear to support LaTeX syntax.]

just `label = ""` . Latex syntax is provided by LaTeXStrings.

Great! Much better syntax for avoiding label…
The `gr` backend doesn’t support LaTeX code, though…
I am `using LaTeXStrings`. Notice that `xlabel` and `ylabel` are _not_ typeset correctly using `gr` backend. (The `label`, is, however, probalby typeset as it should – but doesn’t look particularly nice in `IJulia`… ). Using `pyplot`, however, the result is correct.

Maybe a bug, but should be easy to fix ? :-).

I found that it only supports latexstrings on the _entire_ string. I.e. what seems to not be working are the `$` signs.
