Question

I am using matplotlib and a modified version of this example to generate plots in pdf files. So I am plotting each plot on a single page and the results are just fine.

Now I would like to list all the data used in the plots in a rather long table. This table should be placed below the last plot (so not each plot should get its own table).

Is there a way to plot LaTeX like tables in a pdf file using matplotlib?

Answer 1

Unless using a plot to write text, I think it is save to say, that it is not possible to only write a table to a matplotlib pdf output file.

Currently I am using tex to write the table and pyPdf to merge the two results. I think this is the cleanest solution to the problem.
