I want A, B, and C to all be the same size.\n\nIn a LaTeX document, if you give the commands\n\n```\n\\begin{equation}\n\\frac{A}{B} = C\n\\end{equation}\n```\n\nyou get a fraction, where A, B, and C are all the same size, but if you do\n\n```\n$\\frac{A}{B} = C$\n```\n\ninline with text, you get the A and B rendered at 12.6 pt, while the C is rendered at 18 pt. Thus it appears matplotlib's mathtext is emulating LaTeX's inline mode. In LaTeX you can write\n\n```\n$\\displaystyle\\frac{A}{B} = C$\n```\n\nand then A, B, and C are all the same size, even in inline mode. I tried this in matplotlib, but mathtext did not recognize the command \\displaystyle. =(\n\nI am aware I can use \\displaystyle if I change text.usetex to true in my .matplotlibrc file, but I would like to stay with mathtext since it is a lot faster.  Is there a chance of implementing \\displaystyle in math text?  If not, does anyone have a work around?\n\nMy setup: matplotlib v1.2.0, python 2.7, OS X 10.8.3\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/breedlun","@type":"Person","name":"breedlun"},"datePublished":"2013-04-09T03:47:10.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":12},"url":"https://github.com/1888/matplotlib/issues/1888"}
