So, here are some fragments of my code that are pertinent to the problem. When I go to run this function, I get an error message that ends with RuntimeError: Failed to process string with tex because latex could not be found. I have absolutely no idea what could be causing this.

    for bend in temps['BendingStrength'].unique():

        for entry in Elim:
            E_0.append(entry)

            Derivative = savgol_filter(S, window_length = w, polyorder=(j+3), deriv=(j+3), delta=Estep)
            Derivative = Derivative[:int(len(Derivative)*percentCut)]
            CheckList = np.multiply(Derivative[1:].copy(),Derivative[:-1].copy())
            ZeroCrossings = [num for num in CheckList if num < 0]
            ZeroCrossings = [v for i, v in enumerate(ZeroCrossings) if i % 2 == 0]
            indices = []
            for k in range(len(ZeroCrossings)):
                index = np.where(CheckList == ZeroCrossings[k])
            
                indices.append(int(index[0]))
            
            E_phase = E_0[indices] 
            rawE_phase = E_phase
            E_phase = E_phase[len(prevE_Phase):]
            
 

            if len(E_phase) > 0:
                for energy in E_phase:
                    plt.plot(energy, bendnum,marker = "o",markersize=10,markeredgecolor = phaseColors[j],markerfacecolor = phaseColors[j])
            prevE_Phase = rawE_phase
      
    plt.savefig("PhaseDiagram.png")

I have tried resetting the rcParams for plt, but that seems to have done nothing.
