I want to make plots and change their properties with slider. But the label text of matplotlib.widgets.Slider is very small for my eyes. I surfed the internet to find the answer how to change it, but I had no luck.
The crucial part of code is:
E0_slider_ax = fig.add_axes([0.6, 0.2, 0.25, 0.03], axisbg=axis_color)
E0_slider = mw.Slider(E0_slider_ax, r'$\epsilon_0$', 1, 100, valinit = E0)
# I want to make r'$\epsilon_0$' bigger
I tried to make text for the label as folows:
t = matplotlib.text.Text(r'$\epsilon_0$', size = 22)
E0_slider = mw.Slider(E0_slider_ax, label = t, valmin = 1, valmax = 100, valinit = E0)
but it returns me an error:

thx for help!
