Larger Font Size

[Angela Waner]

Is there an easy way to increase the font size for all the text elments on a histogram or scatterplot

Right now Iam changing the font size for each title, axis labels and legend. This is OK for one or two graphs. But it is tiring when I need to change 10 graphs.

Hello Mara,

 

Go to File-->Options, then under Graphs-->Display, you can change thr font for all graphs. Please see the attachment.

Try this and let me know how it works for you.

I use findall to change the font size for all text in a single figure:

 

set(findall(gcf,'-property','FontSize'),'FontSize',12)

 

DefaultAxesFontSize is a better programming practice, but when you use set() the property names are not case sensitive. You can also go to fontvilla for to check different sizes of custom fonts.

set(0,'defaultaxisfontsize',30) or set(0, 'DefaultAxesFontSize', 30) only works for axes text created after the call to set(); it does not change the size for any existing text object, which the findall() version does change.
