Description of the limitation and why it is relevant to address
As a developer, I want to make use of Latex formatting in VIKTOR PlotlyView so that I can label the visualization with symbols as they are usually defined (e.g. greek letters, subscripts and equations).
Plotly already supports Latex, see Latex in Python. But for some reason the VIKTOR PlotlyResult(fig.to_json()) seems to kill the Latex formatting and simply show the unformatted code, e.g. as ‘%var_{sub}%’.
Submitter proposed design (optional)
That VIKTOR PlotlyResult(fig.to_json()) format Latex strings similar to pure Plotly fig.show().
Current workarounds
You could use unicode instead of Latex. But unicode has several limitations compared to Latex. For instance, unicode doesn’t include subscripts of all letters.
So now I just write in plain text ‘var_sub’, which isn’t that satisfying.
