Tutorial 3: Rich Outputs — Figures, Math, Cross-References

Tutorial 3: Rich Outputs¶

MyST supports a full range of scientific publishing features natively.

Figures with captions¶

A landscape photograph used as a placeholder figure — Figure 1:A figure with a caption and a label. Reference it elsewhere with Figure 1.

Math¶

Inline math: $E = mc^2$

Display math with a label:

\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} e^{-x^2} dx = \sqrt{\pi}

(1)

Reference equations: see (1).

Cross-references¶

Label any heading with (label)= and reference it with the ref role.

This section has a label¶

Refer back to it anywhere in the book using: ref to sec-crossref-demo.

Matplotlib figures from code¶

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(6, 3))
x = np.linspace(0, 2 * np.pi, 200)
ax.plot(x, np.sin(x), label="sin(x)")
ax.plot(x, np.cos(x), label="cos(x)")
ax.legend()
ax.set_xlabel("x")
ax.set_title("Trigonometric functions")
plt.tight_layout()

Tables¶

Column A	Column B	Column C
Value 1	Value 2	Value 3
Value 4	Value 5	Value 6

Summary¶

Use the figure directive for captioned images with labels
Use double-dollar signs for display math with optional equation labels
Use (label)= syntax to label headings and cross-reference them
Code cells produce embedded figures automatically
