MATLAB: How to use different fonts within one axis label in MATLAB 7.13 (R2011b)

fontfontanglefontnamelatexMATLAB

I would like to use different Fonts (like Arial and Times) in one YLabel. How can I achieve this? How can I furthermore set different font angles within one label?

Best Answer

You can achieve this by using the TeX interpreter as shown in the following example:

% set different fonts
ylabel('\fontname{Arial}This is Arial \fontname{Times}This is Times')
% set different font angles
xlabel('\bfbold text \rm\itor italic text\rm')

title() and *label() accept 'FontName' property/value pairs. You can also use a FontName property/value pair in an axes() call, or you can set() that.

Note that if you set() an axes fontname, then http://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/axes_props.html

"Note that MATLAB does not display the x-, y-, and z-axis labels in a new font until you manually reset them (by setting the XLabel, YLabel, and ZLabel properties or by using the xlabel, ylabel, or zlabel command). Tick mark labels change immediately."

Your code is crashing at this line:

h.xlabel('FontName', 'Times New Roman');

The x label is set properly because of the previous line, and the y label is never set because the following line is never reached.

The x label has Times New Roman font because you specified that the heatmap's font should be Times New Roman when you called heatmap(). So this should work:

h=heatmap(X, Y, C, 'FontName', 'Times New Roman');
h.xlabel('Something (unit)');
h.ylabel('Something else (unit)');
colormap(mymap)
