Superscript in Python plots

Question

I want to label my x axis at follows    pylab xlabel  metres 10 1     But I don t want to have the   symbol included    pylab xlabel  metres 10   one       This method works and will superscript letters but doesn t seem to work for numbers   If I try    pylab xlabel  metres 10  1      It superscripts a letter N for some reason    Anyone know how to superscript numbers in python plots   thanks

Alternatively  in python 3 6   you can generate Unicode superscript and copy paste that in your code   ax1 set ylabel  Rate  min

You just need to have the full expression inside the     Basically  you need  meters  10 1     You don t need usetex True to do this  or most any mathematical formula    You may also want to use a raw string  e g  r  t   vs   t   to avoid problems with things like  n   a   b   t   f  etc   For example   import matplotlib pyplot as plt  fig  ax   plt subplots   ax set title r This is an expression  e   sin  omega phi             xlabel  meters  10 1    ylabel r Hertz    frac 1  s      plt show       If you don t want the superscripted text to be in a different font than the rest of the text  use  mathregular  or equivalently  mathdefault   Some symbols won t be available  but most will   This is especially useful for simple superscripts like yours  where you want the expression to blend in with the rest of the text   import matplotlib pyplot as plt  fig  ax   plt subplots   ax set title r This is an expression   mathregular e   sin  omega phi              xlabel  meters   mathregular 10 1            ylabel r Hertz   mathregular   frac 1  s       plt show       For more information  and a general overview of matplotlib s  mathtext    see  http   matplotlib org users mathtext html

If you want to write  unit per meter  m -1   use  m  -1     which means -1 inbetween     Example  plt ylabel  Specific Storage Values   m  -1      fontsize   12
