Insert a bold hyphen in a matplotlib title, rather than minus sign?-CodePudding

I'd like to insert a bold title with a hyphen. I've tried:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

# Data for plotting
t = np.arange(0.0, 2.0, 0.01)
s = 1   np.sin(2 * np.pi * t)

fig, ax = plt.subplots()
ax.plot(t, s)
ax.set_title(r"$\bf{hyphenated-example}$")

This displays with a minus sign (hyphenated − example). I don't think I can use any of the solutions from this document explaining how to do it in a pure latex environment; mbox is not recognised.

CodePudding user response：

You can set a bold font by using weight = "bold" in your title. Using ax.set_title("hyphenated-example", weight = "bold") gives bold text and a bold hyphen (hyphenated-example).

Different font weights and font styles are found here.
