# SingleStringMathTex

Qualified name: `manim.mobject.text.tex\_mobject.SingleStringMathTex`

### *class* SingleStringMathTex(tex_string, stroke_width=0, should_center=True, height=None, organize_left_to_right=False, tex_environment='align\*', tex_template=None, font_size=48, color=None, \*\*kwargs)

Bases: [`SVGMobject`](manim.mobject.svg.svg_mobject.SVGMobject.md#manim.mobject.svg.svg_mobject.SVGMobject)

Elementary building block for rendering text with LaTeX.

### Tests

Check that creating a [`SingleStringMathTex`](#manim.mobject.text.tex_mobject.SingleStringMathTex) object works:

```default
>>> SingleStringMathTex('Test') 
SingleStringMathTex('Test')
```

#### \_original_\_init_\_(tex_string, stroke_width=0, should_center=True, height=None, organize_left_to_right=False, tex_environment='align\*', tex_template=None, font_size=48, color=None, \*\*kwargs)

Initialize self.  See help(type(self)) for accurate signature.

* **Parameters:**
  * **tex_string** (*str*)
  * **stroke_width** (*float*)
  * **should_center** (*bool*)
  * **height** (*float* *|* *None*)
  * **organize_left_to_right** (*bool*)

#### \_remove_stray_braces(tex)

Makes [`MathTex`](manim.mobject.text.tex_mobject.MathTex.md#manim.mobject.text.tex_mobject.MathTex) resilient to unmatched braces.

This is important when the braces in the TeX code are spread over
multiple arguments as in, e.g., `MathTex(r"e^{i", r"\tau} = 1")`.

* **Parameters:**
  **tex** (*str*)
* **Return type:**
  str

#### *property* font_size *: float*

The font size of the tex mobject.

#### init_colors(propagate_colors=True)

Initializes the colors.

Gets called upon creation. This is an empty method that can be implemented by
subclasses.

* **Parameters:**
  **propagate_colors** (*bool*)
* **Return type:**
  *Self*
