How do I get the title and label objects for an axes in MATLAB R2014b?

Best Answer

Starting in MATLAB R2014b, the text objects used for graph titles and axis labels are no longer children of the axes. Instead, use the Title, XLabel, YLabel, and ZLabel properties of the axes to get the associated text objects.

For example, get the text objects used for the title and x-axis label.

ax = gca;
t = ax.Title;
xl = ax.XLabel;

MATLAB: Can’t I define separate tick mark labels using pipes in MATLAB R2014b

Starting in MATLAB R2014b, do not use the vertical slash character, |, to separate tick mark labels. MATLAB R2014b interprets the vertical slash character literally and not as a delimiter. For example, this code displays the entire set of labels at each tick mark.

plot(1:10,1:10)
ax = gca;
ax.YTickLabel = 'A|B|C|D|E|F|G|H|I|J';

To define multiple strings for the XTickLabel, YTickLabel, and ZTickLabel axes properties, use a cell array.

plot(1:10,1:10)
ax = gca;
ax.YTickLabel = {'A','B','C','D','E','F','G','H','I','J'};

"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'};
