Description R!tman 2007-08-18 13:47:17 UTC

If you're using 

from matplotlib import rc

and

rc('text', usetex=True)

and

savefig(filename)

you need dvipng installed. This isn't installed automatically. Maybe there should be a 'tetex' use flag or something like that, which installs dvipng if it's set.

I had tetex installed already and execpt for dvipng I didn't have any problems. However, I couldn't find any dependenies regarding tetex using equery. Maybe tetex is also needed together with dvipng.

fixed. Thanks.

Comment 2 Max Arnold 2007-08-28 16:04:44 UTC

Please make this dependency on dvipng optional (USE flag), because more than 100M sources of tetex is too much for me...
