Hi Everyone,
Could someone please help me how to write a latex notation for the legend, I believe I wrote it correctly but the outcome isn’t as expected. (Paraview 5.9.1)

Please advise.

Working perfectly here.
Which OS are you using ?

Please try with the last binary release from: https://www.paraview.org/download/

Windows 10 64 bit!

Working perfectly on Windows here, are you using the binary release ?

This is the one that I am using! Do you recommend using anything else ?

This seems correct, no idea why this is not working for you.

Please try the following:

  • Open ParaView
  • Source → Wavelet, Apply
  • Color by RTData, Surface representation
  • Edit Color Map, Edit Color Legend
  • Component Name: $N/mm^2$ , Apply

Here it is!

It should not matter.

I just tried with the exact same version as yours and it is still working great. You may want to try on another computer.

I’m running into a similar issue (if not the same). The HPC cluster was updated from RHEL 7 to RHEL 9, and now ParaView is not able to render LaTeX:

I’m using ParaView-5.10.0-RC1-egl-MPI-Linux-Python3.9-x86_64 for the server and ParaView-5.10.0-RC1-MPI-Linux-Python3.9-x86_64 for the client.

@mwestphal, is it possibly that I need to install LaTeX fonts at the system level?

13

Please try with ParaView 5.12 or 5.13.0-RC1

I also have the exact same problem, running on RHEL9 on a HPC cluster. It is version 5.13.2. I did the steps @mwestphal suggested:

This is working with our binary release:

I got the answer from the admin of the HPC system: in the ParaView installation, matplotlib was not included and therefore the LaTeX symbols could not be properly rendered. After loading a matplotlib module, it all works. You can check this by opening pvpython and trying to import matplotlib. If a ModuleNotFound exception occurs, you will not be able to render LaTeX-like annotations.
