How do I get python to display xbar? A line over the letter x

Question

I've been looking at math notation and different packages but have yet to find anything that lets me print xbar (the average x).

I am hoping to use xbar as a label in matplotlib.

Any suggestions?

Thank you. Cheers

Answer 1

If you are using jupyter you can simply do this for one letter (x):

$\bar x$   

#or for a string   
$\overline {xyzabc}$   

#note that one $ will give you an inline output and $$...$$ would start  
#a new line after your output

Answer 2

If you want to use x bar as a label in matplotlib, you can do it like this:

plt.ylabel(r'$\bar{x}$')
