"""
This module supports embedded TeX expressions in matplotlib via dvipng
and dvips for the raster and postscript backends.  The tex and
dvipng/dvips information is cached in ~/.matplotlib/tex.cache for reuse between
sessions

Requirements:

* latex
* \*Agg backends: dvipng
* PS backend: latex w/ psfrag, dvips, and Ghostscript 8.51
  (older versions do not work properly)

Backends:

* \*Agg
* PS
* PDF

For raster output, you can get RGBA numpy arrays from TeX expressions
as follows::

  texmanager = TexManager()
  s = ('\\TeX\\ is Number '
       '$\\displaystyle\\sum_{n=1}^\\infty\\frac{-e^{i\pi}}{2^n}$!')
  Z = self.texmanager.get_rgba(s, size=12, dpi=80, rgb=(1,0,0))

To enable tex rendering of all text in your matplotlib figure, set
text.usetex in your matplotlibrc file or include these two lines in
your script::

  from matplotlib import rc
  rc('text', usetex=True)
