Does anyone know how to make a SlicePlot colorbar from yt use mathtext in the tick labels?  I am doing the following in a loop over x, y, z planes:

        p = yt.SlicePlot(ds, d, var, center=(center[0], center[1], center[2]),

                         origin="native", fontsize=10)

        p.set_log(var, log)

        plot = p.plots[var]

        plot.figure = fig

        plot.axes = grid[i].axes

        plot.cax = grid.cbar_axes[i]

I can get at the colorbar object via cb = plot.cb, but I can't seem to turn on mathtext.  I can modify the axes to use my formatter so they look pretty, but I've tried to set a colorbar formatter with no success.

Here's my image:

Notice that the offset text for the colorbar is "1.e6" instead of in latex (I still have to remove the offset text for the two rightmost y-axes later, but I know how to do that).
