MATLAB: Can the font size of gscatter x-axis and y-axis labels be changed

axes labelsfont sizesgscatterMATLAB

I'm creating several group scatter plots where the a-axis and y-axis labels vary from plot to plot. The parameters xnam and ynam specify the names to use for the x-axis and y-axis labels.

Are the font sizes of these parameters hard coded to specific values? Or can they be varied?

Thank you.

You can vary them with the 'FontSize' p[roperty.

Example —

x = rand(1,100);
y = rand(1,100);
figure(1)
scatter(x, y)
xlabel('X Value', 'FontSize',20);
ylabel('Y Value', 'FontSize',30)
grid

MATLAB: Fontsize and properties of Xticklabels using figure handles

"How do I cange the Xticklabels of a plot using figure handles?"

Get the axis handle from the figure handle.

ax = gca(figureHandle);

Get the XAxis handle from the axis handle and set the FontSize of the x-axis only.

ax.XAxis.FontSize = 16;

or set the fontsize of the entire axis (x & y)

ax.FontSize = 14;

Set the XTick and XTick labels

ax.XTick = 1:4; 
ax.XTickLabel = {'A' 'B' 'C' 'D'};

MATLAB: How to change the font size of plot tick labels

You can change the font size of the tick labels by setting the FontSize property of the Axes object. The FontSize property affects the tick labels and any axis labels. If you want the axis labels to be a different size than the tick labels, then create the axis labels after setting the font size for the rest of the axes text.

For example, access the current Axes object using the gca function. Use dot notation to set the FontSize property for the Axes object. Then create an x-axis label with a different font size.

x = rand(1,100);
y = rand(1,100);
scatter(x,y)
ax = gca;
ax.FontSize = 16; 
xlabel('My Label','FontSize',10)
