MATLAB: Different font sizes for y labels

axis lablemultiple font sizeplot

Hello,
I want to have different font sizes for y-labels. for example in this simple plot, I want to have -2 and 2 in y-axis in font 16 and the rest in font 12:
x = -1:0.01:1;
y = 3*asin(x);
plot(x,y)
set(gca,'Ytick',[-4, -2, 0, 2, 4])

Best Answer

set(gca, 'fontsize', 16) %the larger of the font sizes
set(gca, 'YTickLabels', {'\fontsize{12}{-4}', '-2', '\fontsize{12}{0}', '2', '\fontsize{12}{4}'})
