    r"""
    matplotlib supports accented characters via TeX mathtext
    
    The following accents are provided: \hat, \breve, \grave, \bar,
    \acute, \tilde, \vec, \dot, \ddot.  All of them have the same syntax,
    e.g., to make an overbar you do \bar{o} or to make an o umlaut you do
    \ddot{o}.  The shortcuts are also provided, e.g.,: \"o \'e \`e \~n \.x
    \^y
