kaleido not using latex for text

[GavinHuttley]

I'm not sure if this is a bug or some quirk of my system, since I can see from #360 that others are able to get latex rendering working.

If anyone can reproduce, let me know!

Steps to reproduce

On macOS 15.6, created a conda environment as

mamba create -n delme python=3.13

Activated the environment then pip installed plotly and kaleido

pip install "plotly[express]" kaleido pandas

Installed the chrome dependency as

choreo_get_chrome

Then ran the following python in a script

import plotly.express as px
import numpy.random

x = numpy.random.normal(size=1000)
y = numpy.random.normal(size=1000)

fig = px.scatter(x=x, y=y, labels={"y": r"$\chi^2$", "x": "Random Points"})
fig.add_annotation(
    text=r"$\chi^2$",
    x=0.1,
    y=0.9,
    xref="paper",
    yref="paper",
    showarrow=False,
    font=dict(size=14, color="black"),
)
fig.write_image("plotly-latex.png", scale=3)

It should display $\chi^2$ instead of the input string.

Hi!

I can't reproduce.

Is the environment airgapped? We're currently using a mathjax CDN.

I'm going to ahead and push a new version of everything with the mathjax cached and also more debugging for the other issue you had with docker. That should come out next week.

In the meantime, if you want to

import logistro
logistro.getLogger().setLevel(1)

That will dump a TON of debugging info, but I can use it.

Thanks for the quick response!
Not air gapped. Attaching output from suggested logger command.
