As far as I know, in matplotlib, all the tex png output is treated as
grey  internally (the only exception I know of is ps backend, e.g.,
your example will show you a correct color if you save it as ps). I
guess this may have been a design decision.
As far as I can see, MPL currently does not support texts with varying
font properties (size, color, font).
One possible workaround for this could be using the latex typesetting
as you tried. However, supporting this within the current text
framework of matplotlib would be difficult and may not be a good idea.


However, I guess there are a few workarounds you may consider to use
(but unfortunately I think none of them are easy to work with). So, if
you describe where you intend to use multi-color text, I'll try to
give some example appropriate for your situation. Multi-color text in
figure title or simple annotation would be relatively simple.
Multi-color text in legend label seems to be more difficult, but
should be doable.

Useful to know, thanks.

Hi,

could someone please point me to an example which shows how to achieve a filled 
contour plot with a logarithmic value scale both for the contour data and the 
colorbar?

Thanks in advance, Christian

When creating the axes or subplot, set axisbelow=True

  ax = fig.add_subplot(111, axisbelow=True)

There is an rc param 'axes.axisbelow' to change the default behavior

Not necessarily--there is no guaranteed margin, although making such a 
margin a settable parameter has been in mind for a long time.  With 
tight=False, the autoscaling goes to the nearest ticks that include the 
data range, so depending on the data range and the tick intervals, there 
might be negligible margin.

What is the difference between doing that or using something like:

axes.autoscale_view(tight=False, scalex=True, scaley=True)

I am under the impression that if tight=False, the plot does not
autoscale to precisely the xlims, but leaves some margin.  Is
that right?

Che

And the answer is:

axis(xmin=..., xmax=...)

Probably, that was a very easy question and no one wanted to answer :)
