=================================
Using accented text in matplotlib
=================================
Matplotlib supports accented characters via TeX mathtext or unicode.
Using mathtext, the following accents are provided: \\hat, \\breve, \\grave,
\\bar, \\acute, \\tilde, \\vec, \\dot, \\ddot. All of them have the same
syntax, e.g. \\bar{o} yields "o overbar", \\ddot{o} yields "o umlaut".
Shortcuts such as \\"o \\'e \\`e \\~n \\.x \\^y are also supported.
