Is it possible to show `print` output as LaTeX in jupyter notebook?

Question

I was writing a very simple script to count ellipsoid area and volume and some other things. I was presenting my output printing it out like this:

print('Dims: {}x{}m\nArea: {}m^2\nVolume: {}m^3'.format(a, round(b,2), P, V)) 

What, of course, gave this output (with sample data):

Dims: 13.49x2.25m Area: 302.99m^2 Volume: 90.92m^3 

As I wrote earlier, I am using jupyter notebook, so I can use $ operators in markdown cells to create LaTeX formulas.

My question is, is it possible to generate output using Python code in a way that it will be understood as LaTeX formula and printed in such a way, that:

Thanks for all replies.

Answer 1

Use IPython.display's display function with a Math object:

from IPython.display import display, Math display(Math(r'Dims: {}x{}m \\ Area: {}m^2 \\ Volume: {}m^3'.format(a, round(b,2), P, V))) 

Note the use of Latex-style \\ newlines, and the r'' string, which will take the backslashes as literal backslashes and not see them as escape characters.

Found the solution here.

Answer 2

Here's another solution that let's you include text and math a little easier: Use Markdown with r (so backslashed don't become escape chars) and f string for value insertion.

from IPython.display import display, Markdown  a = 13.49 b = 2.2544223 P = 302.99 V = 90.02  display(Markdown(    rf""" Dims: ${a}m \times{b:5.2}m$  Area: ${P}m^2$  Volume: ${V}m^3$ """))
