LaTeX

Makie can render LaTeX strings from the LaTeXStrings.jl package using MathTeXEngine.jl .

This engine supports a subset of LaTeX's most used commands, which are rendered quickly enough for responsive use in GLMakie.

Using L-strings

You can pass LaTeXString objects to almost any object with text labels. They are constructed using the L string macro prefix. The whole string is interpreted as an equation if it doesn't contain an unescaped $ .

using CairoMakie

f = Figure(fontsize = 18)

Axis(f[1, 1],
    title = L"\frac{x + y}{\sin(k^2)}",
    xlabel = L"\sum_a^b{xy}",
    ylabel = L"\sqrt{\frac{a}{b}}"
)

f          

You can also mix math-mode and text-mode. For string interpolation use %$ instead of $ :

using CairoMakie

f = Figure(fontsize = 18)
t = "text"
Axis(f[1,1], title=L"Some %$(t) and some math: $\frac{2\alpha+1}{y}$")

f
