## interface tracking profiles

## X-axis label

## Left Y-axis labels

## level set equations

## phase field equations

## these went wrong in pdf in a previous version
pylab.text(-.9,.42,r'gamma: $\gamma$', {'color': 'r', 'fontsize': 20})
pylab.text(-.9,.36,r'Omega: $\Omega$', {'color': 'b', 'fontsize': 20})
