Matplotlib - Export and Publication Quality

You want to create a plot with the title showing the equation E = mc^2 using LaTeX in matplotlib. Which code snippet correctly achieves this and saves the plot as a PDF with LaTeX-rendered text?

Aplt.rcParams['text.usetex'] = True plt.title(r'$E = mc^2$') plt.savefig('energy.pdf')

Bplt.rcParams['text.usetex'] = True plt.title('E = mc^2') plt.savefig('energy.pdf')

Cplt.title(r'$E = mc^2$') plt.savefig('energy.pdf')

Dplt.rcParams['text.usetex'] = False plt.title(r'$E = mc^2$') plt.savefig('energy.pdf')

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Enable LaTeX rendering
Set plt.rcParams['text.usetex'] = True to use LaTeX for all text rendering.
Step 2: Use raw string with math delimiters for title
Title must be a raw string with LaTeX math mode: r'$E = mc^2$'.
Step 3: Save plot as PDF
Use plt.savefig('energy.pdf') to save the plot with LaTeX-rendered title.
Final Answer:
plt.rcParams['text.usetex'] = True plt.title(r'$E = mc^2$') plt.savefig('energy.pdf') -> Option A
Quick Check:
usetex=True + raw string + $...$ + save = correct [OK]

Quick Trick: Enable usetex and use raw string with $...$ for LaTeX titles [OK]

Common Mistakes:

Not enabling usetex before plotting
Missing raw string prefix r
Not using $ to mark LaTeX math mode
