Greek letters using LaTex in surface type plot

plotly.js

Hi,
is it possible to use LaTex to have greek letters as labels in surface type plot?
I prepared example of what I was hoping will produce plot with labels in greek letter:
Example plot

I tried to use greek letter Phi.
It worked as expected for the colorbar title, but I can’t make it work for axis title.
I put following code for axis:
xaxis: {
title: ‘$\Phi$’,
showgrid: true,
zeroline: false
},
But in the plot instead of greek letter Phi I get $Phi$ as axis label.

Is it not possible to achieve that or am I doing something wrong?

Unfortunately, no.

LaTeX rendering is not available in our 3D trace types.

See https://github.com/plotly/plotly.js/issues/608 for more details.

You could try using the Unicode character directly instead of That can be a simple way to test whether the issue is specifically with LaTeX rendering. If you need to find or compare different Unicode letter forms, this may also be useful: https://gerador-br.com/letras-diferentes/ For the surface plot itself, I’d check that the axis title is defined under since 3D surface axes use the scene configuration.
