Arabic text in matplotlib [duplicate]

Question

xlabel and ylabel don't display Arabic

x = [2, 4, 6, 8, 10]
y = [6, 7, 8, 9, 10]

plt.bar(x, y, label='Bar1', color='red')
plt.xlabel("الفواصل")
plt.ylabel("الترتيبات")
plt.show()

Answer 1

You will first need to install both arabic-reshaper and python-bidi.

import arabic_reshaper
from bidi.algorithm import get_display
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
x = [2, 4, 6, 8, 10]
y = [6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
xlbl = get_display( arabic_reshaper.reshape('الفواصل'.decode('utf8')))
ylbl = get_display( arabic_reshaper.reshape('الترتيبات'.decode('utf8')))
plt.bar(x, y, label='Bar1', color='red')
plt.xlabel(xlbl, fontdict=None, labelpad=None)
plt.ylabel(ylbl, fontdict=None, labelpad=None)
plt.show()

plot Arabic
