Plot title: set font size with LaTeX interpreter

Greetings, dear community!

I use LaTeX interpreter for generating a plot title:

title('Interesing Plot','Interpreter','latex')

Now I want is to be underlined:

title('\underline{Interesing Plot}','Interpreter','latex')

And finally I want to set font size either explicitly or using LaTeX syntax:

• \Huge
• \huge
• \LARGE
• \Large
• \large

From the Maltab online help: Text with Mathematical Expression Using LaTeX

By default, text objects in MATLAB® support a subset of TeX markup. For a list of supported TeX markup, see the text Interpreter property description.

It sould be: (underling not possible)

title('\fontsize{19} Interesing Plot')

Or you can do:

hT = title('Interesing Plot')
set(hT, 'FontSize', 19)

I hope you did already find a solution :), but for others reading this question.... I post an answer.

Hi,

I find that latex formatting in title simply doesn't work. While for axes or legend I can format the text as you indicated, for title nothing works.

i) When the content is simply text it works fine, selecting default font size

t=title('Interesing Plot')

ii) When I add fontsize

t=title(['\fontsize{19} Interesting Plot']

iii) Any subsequent manipulations have no effect, e.g.

 set(t, 'FontSize', 16);

I am on Ubuntu 18.04, Matlab2019a.

Thanks for any tips.

Hello Ondrej,

Please try tex interpreter in stead of latex:

figure
plot(rand(10,10))
title('\fontsize{19} Interesing Plot', 'Interpreter','tex')
