Thread Subject: Font Size adjustment in Figure label and scale

Hi guys,
Does somebody know how to adjust the font size for figure labes, and also the scale on the figure?
The default is 10 but I would like to set it to 16.

I tried the following, but it didn't work.

set(gcf,'FontSize',16)

Best Regards,
Peter

Hello Peter, to do this you have to grab a handle for the XLabel properties, which is a child of gca. So ...

h_xlabel = get(gca,'XLabel');
set(h_xlabel,'FontSize',N);

where N is your font size number. To view the other properties that can be set, simply do a

get(h_xlabel)

It helps me to have 'more on' in order to view the output better.
