Is there a way to write legends in small caps?

Answers (1)

To display legends in small caps within MATLAB figure, try the following workaround:
  • Use the upper function to convert the text to uppercase.
  • Modify the FontSize property of the legend function to reduce the font size, thus creating an effect like small caps.
For more details on the above-mentioned functions, refer to the documentations using the following commands in MATLAB command line:
>> web(fullfile(docroot, "/matlab/ref/upper.html"))
>> web(fullfile(docroot, "/matlab/ref/legend.html"))
Here is an example code snippet to achieve the desired formatting:
legend(upper(Title1), upper('Title2'),'FontSize',7)
