title: How to label axes in Mayavi using LaTeX math symbols?
body: <p>I'm importing mayavi in a python script to display some 3D data set, it turns out the following <em>naive</em> axes labeling doesn't work</p>
  
  <pre><code>from mayavi import mlab
  axes =mlab.axes(xlabel='$\alpha$', ylabel='$\beta$', zlabel='$\sigma$')
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any ideas? I cannot find the solution from either google or the user manual.</p>
