from SDF - Set the Figure by Andrey Popov
Set the line width and fonts of a figure, as if using the File->Export setup in the figure menu

sdf(varargin)
function sdf(varargin)
% SDF Set the line width and fonts of a figure
% 
% sdf(fig)
% 
% where fig is the figure number. If the figure number is omitted, the 
% currently active figure is updated. Edit the file to set you own style 
% settings.
%
% sdf(fig, 'stylename')
% applies a pre-configured style from the File-->Export Setup menu of the
% figure's window. The stylename should be one of the 'Export Styles'
% section of the dialog.
%
% The function allows applying the same settings as through the 
% File-->Export Setup-->Apply menu of the figure, but much faster and 
% without the annoying clicking. 
%
% Example
%   figure(1);      t=0:0.1:10;   plot(t, sin(t));
%   sdf(1)
%   pause
%   sdf(1,'PowerPoint')
